We liked staying at Rui & Elsa's apartment. There were many positives. It was a nice place to stay in Alfama if you want to explore Alfama. The decor is just like the pictures so it was tastefully decorated. The beds were comfortable. I was with my baby so we were offered a baby cot which was nice. The kitchen was equipped with everything. The hosts were amazing in responsiveness, friendliness and providing information about the location. Many restaurants were nearby.
I think it was too small for our family (2 adults, 2 kids under 6 and one baby). It was difficult for small kids to climb stairs to apartment as it was steep. It was an old building so you can hear other tenants of building moving in their apartment. We think it could have been cleaned better. There were construction men directly outside our window in the kitchen on the roof of the next building and that was also the way to the bathroom and there were no blinds/curtains there so it didn't feel very private. The door to the apartment building was left unlocked and the windows are easy to access so we didn't feel secure. I know it is an older building so some things can't be helped. I think it would be good for a short stay for a couple.
