Rosaria's place is a delightful studio apartment on one of the many tiny streets in the heart of the Alfama. On the positives: we enjoyed the great apartment kitchen to cut fruit, make snacks and make coffee in the morning. The place is really nicely decorated and has a wonderful shower.
Due to being in a lively, working part of the historic neighborhood, you need to be comfortable with lots of neighbors all around, often talking loudly. Also, the apartment is on the ground floor - nice to not carry luggage upstairs, but not comfortable for keeping the windows open for people frequently walking by, gazing in and general safety at night or when gone. Thankfully there was a fan to have air flow in the night.
We enjoyed being so close to many places we wanted to visit and were able to walk or ride the metro everywhere. Many delicious restaurants lined the streets of this neighborhood.
