The place was clean and as described. An older building. Note that the upstairs bedroom is very difficult to access if you are less able-bodied - the stairs are basically a ladder. However, this area of Alfama would also be very difficult to access - steep hills, slippery cobblestones, apartment on the third floor with no elevator. We did not use the kitchen, but it had General cookware, as well as some tea/coffee/sugar. We had difficulty with checkin. Even though the hosts provided a detailed document with pictures, we could not find the lockbox or apartment for a long time. Unfortunately they were not available to answer our questions at the time. The apartment door was also difficult to open, so it took us nearly 30 minutes to get inside. But overall, apartment was as pictured and the location in Alfama was great.
