The location is amazing! We were in the heart of Alfama, very close to bars that stay open late and good cafes/restaurants. You can walk easily to Porto da Sol miradouro, the Castelo, and the Baixa isn't far either. The apartment is beautifully designed, it looks as good as the photos, a great mix of traditional and modern. The size is perfect for a couple, and so much more spacious than a hotel. You look out onto the pretty cobbled streets and rooftops of Alfama. There is a cafe below the apartment that does nice pastries, a butcher next to that if you want to buy something to cook, and a general shop over the road, so you can get supplies very easily. We stayed for 5 nights in June when it was very hot, and the flat stayed pretty cool inside, I only used the fan provided for a couple of the nights we were there. The kitchen was handy, we cooked here (not that much tho as there are too many nice restaurants).
