The apartment was exactly as described and we absolutely loved the location. There are many great spots just around the corner. As previous reviews have mentioned, although the street can get quite busy, with windows shut you can barely hear anything and it's really quiet at night. The bedroom was spacious with lots of wardrobe space and since we both have bad backs, we really appreciated the comfortable bed. we had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend David's place to others!
Maybe only a few things to consider:
- The house is at a higher point of Alfama, making getting home a bit of a hike, but you get wonderful view to make up for it.
- The stairs to the apartment are quite narrow and steep, so keep that in mind when packing your suitcase.
- If you are planning on working from the apartment and need internet for this, then it can be a bit challenging. The wifi was quite slow and 4G was also slower than in other areas. However, if you are there to enjoy your holiday, it is not going to be an issue :)
