This was a tastefully decorated very small apartment in a good location of the Alfama/Fado district of Lisbon, Portugal. During the booking process I asked the owner if it was on the first floor and he said no, on the second floor. He said he could help carry our bags for us so I agreed to book and pay in full the apartment. I gave him notice a few days before our approximate time of arrival and we texted him we were on our way so he could meet us. We had to phone him when we arrived and he let us in electronically and was not close to the location. We then had to climb more than 2 flights of old steep wooden steps carrying all our luggage on our own. The apartment is cute, but very small, and is ok for 2 people, no more. There is 10” space to walk around the bed, and when sitting on the toilet, there is 2” to the sliding door. No fan working in the bathroom so very steamy.
It was a nice hot small shower stall and sink.
It was nice to have a clothes washer with soap, and a clothes line outside the big door/window, & a drying rack. It was pretty quiet at night except for the sound of garbage cans being dragged over the cobblestone sidewalks in the early hours.
Grateful for the secure space and Luis supplying us with coffee pods and a very clean space. Would recommend using the apartment, but take note of the stairs. Also, no lights were at the bottom set of stairs, so we used our cell phone lights.
