This was a very clean and pleasant room to stay in with a lovely outlook to the street, clean bathrooms and access to kitchen and laundry facilities (wash only no dryer). Maria and Madelena were both very helpful although my having no Portuguese at all was tricky with check in - but not a problem with online communications. Namur at the end of the street has good coffee and a lovely owner, Paul. It was really my own lack of research but it was further out than I had wanted to be from Alfama and the main downtown. Maria is a lovely host.
