Apartment was just as described and shown in pictures. As previous reviewers have noted, the apartment is located close to a metro and train station. It's right on the edge of an area of Alfama with a concentration of restaurants and bars (around the Museo do Fado), which is convenient, but since you're not right there, you're spared the late-night noise that comes with it. The living room gives on to a fairly busy street, but if you close the window/doors, you don't hear anything. The bedroom is in the back of the apartment and is generally very quiet with, indeed, a nice view of the river. The only issue we had was the shower being slow to drain, which resulted in water flooding into the bathroom a couple of times, but this was an easy thing to manage once we were aware of it, and I'm sure the owner, who seems very responsive, will take care of the problem by the time this review is published. All in all, a comfortable, very pleasant apartment with everything you could wish for for a short stay.
