Good Option in Alfama
Communication with owner was excellent! Location is quiet, but easy walking distance or a short Uber to so many restaurants and sights. Apartment is updated with modern features and has a delightful outdoor space off the upper floor. We found all beds to be comfortable (did not use the day bed in bedroom number 3). A few things that could use attention: The apartment was clean, but had a damp/moldy smell, especially in the 2 main floor bedrooms and bath. Could be due to the age of the building, but then we noticed a moldy shower curtain. Perhaps a dehumidifier would help? Would also suggest supplying a few more bath towels, toilet paper (only 2 partial rolls were available) and a few starter packs of laundry and dish soaps. Finally, some simple instructions on operating the dishwasher and washer/dryer would be helpful for non-Portugeuse speakers. We were able to figure it out via google, but would have been nice to have something posted on the machines.To be clear, we did not contact the owner with these issues during our stay. We had a limited time to enjoy Portugal so did not want to spend time on housekeeping issues. Overall we enjoyed our stay!
