Overall a good experience. It’s a charming old building and very nicely renovated; although you can hear the people above/below, it wasn’t disruptive. Lots of windows & a very sunny apt, great views from terrace, can see the river from the kitchen table & sofa bed.
A very clean & well-kept apt. Has minimum basics for kitchen, had to buy even salt & pepper. Communication w/host was sometimes challenging; WhatsApp wasn’t working on my phone, & my texts/emails took a few days to get responded to. Being in the Alfama area, there are many stairs to get to building, but take your time, & you get used to it. The stairs are worth being in a quiet side street of Alfama; walk out the door & onto the cobblestone streets. Would stay here again.
