We stayed here prior to taking a cruise, and had been in Portugal for a few days before, so we had a lot of luggage. Therefore, getting up to the apartment with several large bags was quite difficult, and it didn’t help that taxis could not take us there (due to restrictions we weren’t told about) so we had to do a lot of walking. The stairs were steep and narrow, and you have to be careful outside because Alfama is on a hill-don’t let your suitcase go flying! The bathroom was just gross-leaking sink, a bunch of other people’s hair on the toilet and shower, and EXTREMELY small. I couldn’t use the shower, it just felt nasty. The kitchen had at least one non working burner and there was dirt and grease caked on the stove and hood. We never could get the TV to work, either. On the plus side, it’s close tp the famous Tram 28 line and the cruise port is not far, either. But I’d never stay here again, I’m sorry. Seems the place wasn’t cleaned before we got there.
