8 people could spread out and have space. Nice meeting area and balcony. Steps are tight and steep so need to have good mobility. Nice cafes very close. A/C very good.
We loved our stay here. There were eight of us (four couples), so we appreciated the size and number of bathrooms. We fell in love with the Alfama neighborhood - it's not the "city center," so you do a bit more walking to get places, but we loved the location. We had no trouble getting to other parts of the city. Host was responsive, and the listing was as-advertised. Would absolutely stay again.
