The location was perfect and the view was amazing! We loved the charming Alfama neighborhood; there were plenty of sights within walking distance. Even though we were there over the Christmas holiday, there were plenty of shops and restaurants open, even on Christmas Eve and especially on Christmas day. The place itself was quite cute, and Irina and Ricardo left us some Portuguese soaps and chocolate truffles. The apartment was quite small (as described), especially the shower, and without the heater, the place could be quite damp, but we were lucky that the weather was good and we were able to hang clothes and towels outside to dry.
