This is a great little apartment in the heart of the Alfama. It is well appointed with everything you need. Gerard is a great host who was very communicative and was accommodating about some of my last minute scheduling issues. The apartment is a little far from the busier areas, and the immediate neighborhood is a little sleepy at times. However you do get the feeling of being transported back in time walking down the streets and hearing all the Fado echoing down the streets.
