Carole was really friendly and personally met us for the check in. She and Thierry also proactively replaced the sofa which was partly spoilt by the previous guest. Clean, comfortable beds, lots of towels, 2 European style portable heaters for winter and homey feel.
If you like experiencing living in a 150 year old building in the oldest neighbourbood in Alfama, this is good value for the size and having your own apartment. Good fun wandering around the cobblestoned streets with good places to eat around. The Hideout is a good cafe and Alfama63 (small family run place that needs to be booked).
As mentioned on the description, there are stairs up; for those carrying heavy luggage, do note.
Thanks for the cosy stay!
