We loved this place. It had character, comfort, and plenty of places to eat within walking distance. The concierge Rui Pedro was always available, giving suggestions for dinner and great breakfast place a block away. He made sure we had everything we needed, plus left wine for us. We rented the least expensive apartment, on the ground floor to avoid any steps, but it was nicely equipped, quiet (during the day as well as at night), affordable and pretty easy to get to. If you're elderly and have lots of luggage, you may want to see if Pedro can arrange some help getting you luggage to your apartment. But that's about the only possible, very slightly negative thing I can saw about the place. And it was fun being in Alfama, after previously staying in the Rossio area of Lisbon. There's plenty of character there, and the 28 tram is very close by. We photographed it and we used it. And Lisbon is compact enough so that with the 28, and bolt, uber, and feet (as long as you can deal with cobblestones and hills!) we got around the city to see and do a lot. To choose your apartment, I'd recommend looking at the On/set Alfama Lisbon Cinema Apartments website, which gives more information than the common booking sites. And book early!
