We enjoyed our stay at the small Alfama room. It's not very big, but very well located and has everything you need for a short stay in the beautiful city of Lisbon. You need to access the apartment through a steep staircase, be mindful if you bring heavy luggage! The location was very nice and calm – in the 'old', authentic part of Lisbon. You need some imagination (and sufficient height) to see the actual river from the room. But, because the apartment is located near the Tagus river, access to other city parts (and touristic center) is very easy to do on foot or by public transport.
