Staying in the Alfama District is like traveling to medieval times: cobblestone alleys and steps, buildings from centuries past, lots of walking. This apartment is in a great location to enjoy the area with all its food and drink and shops. And the terraces give views above it all. Taxis will drop you a few blocks away and then you walk. There’s no elevator so pack lightly; you’re carrying your luggage up a lot of steps. The washer/dryer works well once you decipher the symbols. The kitchen had everything I needed.
My gripe is the water heater. Water doesn’t get hot, there’s a 3 to 5 minute supply of warmish water. Hopefully this will be remedied soon, I’d be happy to stay there again
