Great location, but you have to like Fado... through if you book in Alfama you probably do!
The soundproofing is good for the country's building standards however, so it helps.
Overall, the place is excellent, clean, cute, well maintained and decorated. Recently refurbished. What you see in the pictures is faithful. Seemed a bit like a professionalized version of AirBNB though.
There’s a fine balance between gentrification and authenticity, so I wish all the best to all the old ladies from the area, I wish they can live there at decent rates for a bit longer. They are part of the charm indeed and the keepers of Alfama's soul.
