What a gem! This apartment exceededall our expectatios:1)the location between Alfama and Baxia was perfect, quiet sidestreet but surrounded by several restaurants and bars. Across the apartment a small super market with all the basics you need, down the street a take out delicious deli. 2) the building and staricase is wide and solid and the elevator to our apartment on the 4th floor was a great plus! 3) the 2 bed 2 bathroom aparment was modern , and gorgeous... beds and pillows so comfortable, main bedroom had even a walk in closet ! Modern kitchen with dishwash/ washer-dryer combo / oven- micro combo, the tiny deck was good enough for small table and 2 chairs to enjoy the lovely view- but with the doors open the living room expanded to outside. We never had to use the aircon because we were blessed with marvelous weather during our June 2018 trip. Highly recommended- and will be our place to come back to on our next trip. Patricia the host was very friendly, helpful ,easy to communicate with and responded super fast to any questions.
