The apartment is ideally situated in the heart of Alfama, so it is perfect to visit the city by foot or by public trasportation and very near to good restaurants and bars. It can be a bit noisy at night and in the morning because there are bar/restaurants in the same street. It is quite comfortable for a short stay, however, don't expect it to be as new, fresh and clean as it seems on the pictures. Unfortunately we also also encountered some cockroaches at night, but aside from that, we would still recommend it.
