Me and my friend at first thought Alfama would be a quieter neighborhood but that wasn’t entirely true for the location of this unit.
The unit doesn’t have fan so we had to leave the windows slightly open for air circulation. However, the street gets so so much noisier at night with ppl ( it’s crazy) and then trash pickup ( around 2am ) is another big wake up call specially if you are a light sleeper or have to wake up early.
Cigarettes smoke sips into the room from windows if passerby are smoking while walking down the alley(which is right below them windows).
Unit comes with 2 in 1 washer and dryer. It is bit tricky to open the door of the machines once it’s done or in between the cycle.
Check in was easy. A lady named Lourdes checked us in in person and she speaks English.
There are restaurants and bars in walking distance.
