Alexandres' place scored with lots of space but also some privacy for each party as the appartment has winding corridors. Everything was clean and neat and while the teen enjoyed the wifi in the living room the kitchen with its big table became the nightly event location to have some drinks and chat. The kitchen was well equiped but it took as a few days to heat up the place. As the heating pipes are behind the walls the kitchen never became really warm :( Communication with Alexandre was very easy and he was not only always helpful but also very kind.
The apartment is located at the top of alfama. So getting down and up to the city can be a bit exhausting. There is a nice park to have breakfast and orange juice and a cosy focaccia place. Try to stay away from the restaurant next to it which is overpriced and of lower quality.
Overall we really liked that place and would totally recommend it.
