The location was brilliant and we had a lovely time - Ana were super helpful and Alfama is beautiful (even though the weather wasn't great when we were there). However, bits of the ceiling kept falling off (this woke us up a couple times and got in our glasses when eating) and the grit would get on our feet then in the bed and that was difficult. The metal on the shower got really hot in the small shower so we burnt ourselves a couple times and the room itself got very cold and there was no heater. Also there is only one tiny window so its dark and drives you a bit crazy after a while - plus it is ground level so if you have the window open - people on the street peer in. Saying all of that - the apartment is still great value for money, still and I am sure when its warmer its all a lot simpler.
