Tomás's apartment was as described, but a little more bare than the listing photos. A friend of his met us on the day of the arrival for a tour and to unlock the apartment. We really appreciated the bottle of wine as a welcome gift! The unit is in the perfect location in the heart of Alfama. As previous reviewers mentioned, there are 3 flights of stairs leading up to the unit which could make carrying luggage somewhat of a challenge. The bedroom was quite hot on the first night, but Tomás was very kind to bring us an extension cord to make the fan usable in the bedroom. We enjoyed our stay in Alfama and would recommend this apartment to others.
