This is a very small space, therefore certain details stand out. The bed is very uncomfortable. instead of using pillows, couch cushions are used and they are very hard to sleep on. Most importantly, the cleanliness of the place seems to be an issue as the host warns guests not to complain about "hair, dust, cockroaches, mold, etc”. Charging cleaning fees and charging for an extra person is fair but the place you offer should be spotless to each and every guest. Hair and dust can be found throughout the apartment. the bedsheets used are blue/dark colours and it's hard to tell if they've been washed or not. The bathroom had a lot of half-used shampoo bottles and some empty ones. there is not a lot of room to unpack in the unit and having to do it on the dirty floors filled with dust and hair makes it even more unbearable.
Overall, Place is as expected. you're paying for the location, so get out there and experience walking down the narrow streets and listening to Fado music in neighbourhood restaurants. The private balcony is incredible with a fantastic view. This is Definitely a “Unique Stay” in Alfama. Price could be lower, but I would still recommend it to travellers.
