We stayed here in January and was a great place to explore the Alfama area and take in the views of the passing cruise ships. It is walking distance to a number of restaurants, mini-markets, viewpoints and the main train station. As it is the Alfama area the streets are very narrow and steep, so I would not recommend this area if you have any mobility issues. Also, the unit is up a number of steep and narrow flights of stairs so it can be difficult with luggage. Again, the one concerns would be for anyone with poor mobility issues otherwise it is a great historical area to stay and a cosy unit. The unit has everything you need and a kitchen to prepare any meals if you wish to stay in. Down near the train station, there are some great restaurants right on the river which I recommend. Hugo is an excellent host and was available for help at any point.
