The apartment is bright, spacious and airy, excellently situated in the cobbled hilly maze of charming Alfama, just a short walk from the city centre. The tram passes by the front door, and from 2 floors up you can see the mighty Tejo river and the Sun Gates plaza ('Portas del Sol'). The bed is particularly comfortable for a couple, being 2 metres by 2 metres, soft but firm. The lounge area is enjoyable, with TV for distraction and a circular dining table. There are long saloon style doors between the rooms. The odd wooden floorboard creeks, and the bathroom can smell a bit - it's an old building, so I'm guessing the plumbing is aged too. Finally the kitchen is well equipped and hosts the washing machine. There are two radiators for winter, two fans for summer, plus a balconette and windows that open both vertically and horizontally. Thomas and Duarte are quick to respond and fix any problems you may have. Enjoy your stay!
