This is a lovely apartment in the very historic neighborhood of Alfama, which has great energy both during the day and evening. It is not far from a rail and subway station and not located too deep into the winding, narrow alley streets of the neighborhood (accessibility was very good). The apartment was extremely clean and nicely decorated, and it has all of the major amenities needed - washer, drying stand, iron, plenty of towels, air cooling, television, soap, etc. Natural light was very good, especially in the front room and main bedroom. There is a lot of storage space available if you want to unpack your belongings. Doors open onto small balconies on the front side, which was great for getting natural air and light - it was wonderful to listen to the people and music from the street and restaurants (there were 2 nearby that offered Portuguese Fado music performances in the evenings). Very easy to get to the major points of interest in the city by both walking and public transit. Communication with the host was excellent.
