The location is incredibly convenient since it's in the middle of Alfama. The utilities as described and quite new. However, as some other reviewers noted, there is an incredible amount of noise since the building is old, which meant that I was barely able to get 6 hours of sleep every day. The most annoying noise comes from the AirBnB guests staying in the apartment above: Whenever they move, the floor creaks loudly and makes it simply impossible to sleep. If you value good rest during your travel, you may want to consider somewhere else (I guess all buildings within Alfama might have a similar issue so it's not really the host's fault, but it's a key factor to consider). Also, the host was not very responsive. I had to call her personally on the phone one day before my travel to make sure that she received my messages and that everything was in order, since she never replied to them. When I arrived, I also had to contact the host myself, and even then, I had to wait 5 minutes before somebody arrived to open the door. Plus, the WiFi router isn't located in this apartment, but in the apartment above, meaning that the signal is weak and the internet speed is quite bad.
