The apartment is ideally located in the heart of Alfama and is only a 15 minute walk into the centre. The accommodation is scrupulously clean and very modern. The bathroom is quite small but the kitchen is a very good size and well equipped. The beds are super comfortable and the air conditioning a welcome feature. The apartment is on the first floor with no lift but the stairs are pretty wide so getting luggage up isn't a problem. Check in was very smooth and it was good to know that the owner runs a guest house close by so she is easily contacted in case of any emergencies. There are lots of restaurants and bars within a 5 minute walk of the apartment and plenty of "mini mercados" if you want to self cater. There's an ATM just a few yards away. Rua dos Remedios is quite lively at night and if you leave the windows open you can hear the Fado performances from the restaurant opposite, but once the windows are closed most of the street noise is excluded. We absolutely loved staying here and will definitely try to book another stay on our next visit.
