Miguel is truly a great host! communication with him was fantastic and as others before me have mentioned, also I received an exact plan on how to get to the apartment. his apartment has everything you need, even a freezer, washing machine and powder, a clothes line, olive oil etc.. an extra set of towels and sheets and it's very clean. it's bright and truly in the heart of Alfama. I knew Alfama before and this would be my favourite spot to stay as it is close to everything I like the most. there is a little grocery store as you step out of the building which is great so you can even carry a 5L water bottle easily :) and a cafe/bakery etc. in the street further up. potential Alfama lovers beware: June is the month of partying - so it can get quite noisy from the street. as far as I know this concerns the the first 3 weeks in June only.
