Stéphanie’s place is located in Alfama and has views of the river from every room which is beautiful to look at any time of day. The downside is that being on the second floor(no elevator) the apartment does get very hot, (even with windows open all day) there is very little breeze. We had one fan in the bedroom, a second one in the living room with the sofa bed would’ve helped a lot. Also there are no blinds in the bathroom and it has the largest window in the house, we found this odd as the houses are close together and pretty easy to look in to.
On a positive note, being in the old town you have easy access to restaurants and groceries. A lot of places/sights are easily accessible on foot and the train and bus stops are also close by.
