The apartment is a small, clean, fully equipped room with bathroom that was recently renovated at the heart of the charming Alfama neighborhood. If you are looking for an affordable and practical spot close to the center of everything, this might be the spot for you.
Bathroom quarters are a little tight, especially the shower, and the floor (and ceilings of the apartments below) are extremely thin. You can disturb your fellow boarders merely by walking late at night.
The host was very efficient, albeit hands off--which is not necessarily a bad thing.
