We stayed there for 2 nights in July when the temperature reached 97F. We were pleasantly surprised that we were able to sleep normally at night without fans. I think the reason is thick walls in the building. The apartment was nicely decorated, and its location was superb right in the center of action in Alfama. There are many great restaurants with live Fado music nearby. Miguel was a great host. We needed to check in early, and he arranged cleaning for us despite having other tenants on that day.
