The host was very responsive, being in touch via text to help us locate the apartment in the medieval Alfama district. The apartment is at the top of the building with very steep and narrow stairs going up to it (as other guests have mentioned). We were woken each night by trash collectors or recycling trucks. The streets are narrow and sounds have no where to go but up and into bedroom windows. Bring ear plugs if that bothers you. Apartment was clean and the bed was comfortable.
