The apt in a perfect area, right in the middle of the Alfama, on a sweet back street. There is construction happening now, so check with him if it's still going on. The only thing that would have improved the apt, and for me it was an important issue, is the fact that there is no internet. You need to go to a very sweet nearby cafe anytime you want it. Also, good to check with him about check out time. His ad originally said, 'flexible', but when we got there he said we needed to be packed by 10 am. We could leave the bags until noon, but had to be out for him to clean. It worked for us, but worth checking. Overall, he was very helpful and the flat is wonderful
