Elsa and Rui were the most welcoming hosts and we were so appreciative of the lift from the airport to the apartment and arranging the taxi to take us back. The apartment itself is very small, a bit smaller and darker than expected but all the amenities were there. The area of Alfama is lovely and we felt very safe walking home at night. Our only real negative was the noise from the apartment above us. It honestly felt like our neighbours were in the room with us at times and the TV was blasting all day and evening. If you plan to be in the apartment for only short periods then this is fine since the noise typically stopped around 10 or 11pm. However if you like to relax in the evenings or come back for a nap, you might find it a little difficult. Overall we had a great stay and the hosts themselves were fantastic.
