The GoodThe host appeared friendly and communicative. However we did not need much support as we had been to Lisbon before, so contact was at a minimum. Self check-in and check-out was super easy and straight forward. Location and especially the view from the flat are phenomenal. Good way to keep some calories in check going up and down the Alfama stairs. The apartment is a good size, nice water pressure in the shower and the kitchen has all the basics required during a city trip. We also enjoyed some of the cute decorations like the mid century lamps. The BadThe apartment is somewhat tired and felt a bit sticky overall. And be aware it smells very very musty and damp in there. We had to sleep in the living area as the bedroom area is very small and you couldn’t open the window to air it out. Which really took value for money away and made our stay somewhat uncomfortable and not very well rested. If you have allergies or issues with sinuses this may not be tolerable. Fanning towers are provided but they genuinely need a clean as they are full of dust.

The apartment was fine. Fortunately most of the time the elevator was available. The hours that were listed were not the same as the hours it was open. Other than that, no issues. We appreciated the fans as it was very warm during our visit

A minor issue with the hot water heater. Host had a technician there the next day. In housing in a city that dates back millenia some problems should be expected. You could not ask for a better location or a more accommodating host.

Great location but the handy public elevator wasn’t working. Suitcase shuffling as a single was a challenge. Using the stairs each day became easier and great exercise as I toured the city. Well worth it!!

Great place for single or two!

Excellent location in Alfalma with access to so many restaurants and shops (of course it is in Alfalma). Small living room with great view of port and very airy. Kitchen is small but adequate with needed appliances. Bed is comfortable. The place is very clean and owner is very responsive. Overall a very good experience and highly recommend it.

Short stay

Place is located right in the Alfama area of Lisbon. Not for the faint of heart for walking. The elevator in the listing was not in service during our visit, so it ywas stairs only. Place is cute for two with beautiful views to the Tagus where several cruise ships port. The downside is if you have allergies to spores this may not be your place. It because it's near the ocean / rrover does get misty. I am an allergy sufferer and even taking my medication I still got stuffed up. My wife and I didn't have the heat on as it was beautiful and even opened all the windows we could to alleviate the issue with my allergies and it did not help. But as stated other than my allergies the place is set in a gem of an area of Alfama

Alfama Hill character

Very comfortable updated apartment. Spacious enough for more than a few days. The old town location puts you in the middle of lots to see and do. A very walkable area with lots of history and views. Many pedestrian only roads make walking very pleasant. Monica communicated very well using the texting within VRBO, SMS and voice. My US based phone wasn’t getting my texts to her and I would call her successfully when I suspected this could be happening. The arrival directions and access instructions were great.

Cute apartment with a great view

This apartment has wonderful views and is very quaint. Near a small food market, restaurants, and the metro. The landlady was very kind. Beware however, that Alfama is a pedestrian only area. Walking is the only way around, which I enjoyed, but with a suitcase is was a challenge. It was worth all those stairs. Kindly, Christine

Comfortable bed, reliable Wifi, and excellent neighborhood with meandering paths that take you back in time. Mini-mercados and restaurants/bars that serve as live music venues featuring Fado abound.

Center of alfama, great view

We enjoyed our time in the heart of alfama. This place is not for the faint of heart as there are lots of stairs regardless of the direction you come from (up or down). The elevator suggested to get there is out of order (july w2023) and, according to a local, has been for over a month. Luckily we travel lightly. We liked the narrow alleys and fado restaurants nearby. The place is old but what else could it be in that location? Great views.
