A convenient location in Alfama, with easy access to the Metro. It is one of the most visited areas of the city by tourists, so it's busy. However, there are some great places to eat in the vicinity that didn't feel like tourist traps. The apartment has great windows for its size, so we enjoyed the fresh air and the sunshine in the apartment.
The apartment is at the top of two flights of narrow, steep stairs. We did not have a problem with the stairs, but for anyone with mobility issues, it could be a challenge.
Finally, Alexandra is a great host. She was very prompt communicating with us and was waiting for us in the apartment when we reached Alfama. She offered great ideas for places to visit in the city. She also provided a Wi-Fi hotspot to use around the city, which was very helpful for us when finding our way around the city. Unfortunately, I forgot the charger in the bottom of my backpack, about which she was very forgiving. A very gracious host.
We would happily stay here again.
We would not hesitate to stay there again. Great place, great host!
