Rute's place is very charming and you are met with a bottle of wine. The ground floor terrace is a nice place to sit in the evening and is exceptional for people watching. I have seen other reviewers complain about the lack of windows or natural light in the bedroom, but believe me, when it is 36 degrees outside, it makes a lot of sense. Came back from a very hot trek across Lisbon to find the flat surprisingly cool and welcoming. If you are staying in June, check the days of the feast of St Anthony in Alfama as this place is right in the middle of it.
