Excellent location in Alfama
Overall, the location of this place is what you’re paying for. You can’t beat it! We had some issues at first - we didn’t get our check in details until after the 3pm check in time + I think that was because they were trying to replace the water heater before we arrived. We were welcomed by the nicest guy ever who gave us a tour of the place which made up for the delay and water issues. We never had any issues with the water once they replaced the unit as we arrived. It’s three bedrooms, two full bathrooms… and the balcony has the best view of the bridge and the cruise ships. I do feel that with the amount we paid, there could have been a few more small things that would have made this place as perfect as the view/location - little things like lamps that actually have a place to be plugged in and used in the living room, clocks that are hanging on the wall but don’t actually work, loud plumbing noises when you flush the toilet, + a tv where we could change the subtitles so that we could follow along. I also think that short term rentals should provide shampoo, conditioner and shower gel as a minimum as most people are not going to want to travel with those items. There was hand soap and shampoo in an ikea container for us when we checked in so we had to buy some items. Overall I loved the location and balcony - but I think this apartment could be improved with some small things to make it even more welcoming, especially when customers are going to be comparing to hotels.
