Do not stay here. If ever there was an example of extracting the most money from the least effort, then this is it. Alfama is of course beautiful, and the Fado wafting through the streets into the open windows on a summers evening is amazing. The view from the window overlooking the river in the distance is also very nice. However, the only things positive about this ‘apartment’ are outside it. It is a loft made to look like an apartment, there are no separate bedrooms, in fact, no separate space at all and the photos on the website must have been taken by an estate agent photographer, as like the lies they tell, they bear little resemblance to the actual room itself. The one bed (a mattress) is perched on top of the inbuilt bathroom, where you can just about sit up to read and it is unbearably hot throughout the day. The sofa, which converts into a bed is disgusting, and no effort has been made to clean the multiple stains on it. The duvet for the sofa bed has not ever, in my opinion, been washed, likewise the pillow cases. They simply cannot be bothered to furnish the apartment with even the most basic utensils. No scissors, no bread knife, no knife to cut vegetables, a frying pan whose handle could come off at any moment. Two of the four burners on the hob do not work. One of the lights flickers more than a strobe at a 1970s disco. There are rips in the sheets. They consider 2 clothes hangers sufficient for four people, for a month and despite repeatedly asking for more, from the first day, it took 8 days before they decided to bring only another 6. There are uneven and badly maintained floorboards and windows that don’t shut properly, and one not at all. However, this is fortuitous, if part of your holiday plans were to hear how Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture would be interpreted by wheelie bins being dragged down cobbled streets, at roughly 1230am to 0100am in the morning. When the downstairs neighbours decided to have a party, and I complained (the owners of the loft also own the other flats) I was told call the police and they abdicated all responsibility for their properties. This place is dirty, badly kept and a rip off. Whatever you do do not stay here.
