Definitely a great place to stay. Super cute apartment, great views, close to everything in Alfama. I would definitely recommend this place, depending on who I was recommending for. Seriously, it's a GREAT place to stay, and Monica is wonderful. She responds so quickly and kindly.
Just some notes that I wish I had understood:
1. Alfama is just hills. It's gorgeous, adorable shops and restaurants everywhere, but **if you have any kind of mobility issues, this is not the airbnb for you.** IF you can get a tram to the top of the hill (expect to stand during the summer), it's about 3-4 flights of stairs down to the apartment. If you come from the bottom, the stairs are more spread out, but it's probably the equivalent of 4-6 flights of stairs. This was incredibly hard on my knees, especially when carrying luggage.
2. Alfama is a maze. I highly recommend a taxi when you're arriving. Follow Monica's directions. Don't try to use Google maps. Once you're in Alfama for a few hours, you'll figure everything out, but it's incredibly frustrating with luggage.
3. The shower is very, very small. I am a bigger person (2XL American clothing sizes), and it was so difficult for me to pick up my shampoo when it dropped, let alone to wash my feet. Just something to think about.
Again, I definitely do recommend - that's why I gave it 5 stars - this just isn't the airbnb for everyone. Monica, though, deserves 10/5 stars! :)
