It is a very comfortable and cosy apartment that has everything you need. Yes, the stairs to the apartment are pretty steep, but they are just as authentic as the entire apartment. If you're afraid of stairs you're in the wrong city :D We had a great time in this apartment and it was a perfect location to start day trips walking through the alfama district. The hosts Lucia and Nelson gave us many many great tips and information before our arrival and they were also flexible and considerate with the check in. I really have nothing to complain and definitely recommend this apartment!
