  : It was very Clean and tidy. Nice places to visit nearly.
  : No cupboard or wardrobe for storage. It was a big problem to keep everything in suitcase and keep opening it. Dont understand why there was no washing machine but had dryer.

  : The apartment was very clean with modern furniture. The bedroom was airconditioned which was great and the bed comfortable. The apartment was small and well located. Hard to find initiialy but 5 mins from the So Vicente de Fora Monastery which made for a great destination. Also a great flea market. The surrounding area had plenty of character but was very hilly. For late Septemeber Lisboa was heaving with tourists but there were plenty of taxis etc There was a small viewing platform located on the roof with amazing views.
  : Minor details but the coffee machine did not work, the fridge was not very well fitted and one of the three legged stools has a leg falling out. The coffee table had a leg break due to poor assembly. No view from the apartment and lots of building works around. Apartment was small and probably suitable for a place of rest only. Hard to find initially but located close to the Sao Vicente Monastry which really helped. Take ear plugs

  : The apartment right in the middle of Alfama is awesome. We stayed in No.3 which was on the 1st floor. The steps are steep and narrow. But you get used to it - in the end it is a historic/old building.The apartment is small but nice.You can walk to many sights within minutes.Make sure to bring good shoes and some basic condition as it is steep at some points (either downhill, uphill or via stairs). There is an alarm system for the flat. Took us some time to figure out how it works (even with the instructions). But it made sense in the end. Wifi is free and very good.Maybe we would stay there again as the area is so convenient.
  : Unfortunately there are some building sites near the apartment. It mostly starts getting noisy around 8/9am. So we were lucky to have two days of weekend when workers stayed home.The insolation of the apartment is not the best. So you hear your neighbours walking, chatting etc. But that was bearable as our neighbours seemed to follow the house rules (quiet time from 10pm to 8am) which was nice.If you have a lot of luggage there is hardly space for it. We "occupied" the sofa in the lounge as there was no other place unfortunately. That was okay for us, for others maybe not.Some other minor issues we already told the manager (via WhatsApp and email).
