The views from this apartment were breath-taking. Based on that alone, I would have given the apartment 5 stars. The rest of my family, though, focused more on the many steps to get to the apartment! You definitely have to be in good shape and have a good sense of balance to deal with the narrow, steep stairs. Once you are in the apartment though, the layout is very comfortable and the place is clean, thoughtfully put together and very nicely decorated. The stove works with gas and the kitchen was well stocked. The washing machine and the A/C both worked great. The beds were very comfortable and the water pressure was awesome. The TV had Netflix. There was a breakfast place nearby and a bakery too for fresh bread. Parking was also close by, near the fire station. I would recommend that the hosts add shelving or some other type of storage/ counter space in the bathroom, but this would be an easy fix. So, if what you want is an authentic Alfama experience with postcard views of Lisbon this is the place for you! If you have mobility issues or are very out of shape, you should consider accommodations outside the Alfama neighborhood altogether.
