Quiet at night except for the nightly garbage pickup which was not for long. Close to all Alfama experiences. Very narrow steep flight of stairs to the apartment. We were met by a very pleasant hostess who quickly showed us through the apartment. We appreciated the room heaters and extra blankets as it was chilly, being early March. Beds were comfortable enough.

Authentic Portuguese Experience

We greatly enjoyed this flat. It was easy to feel enveloped in the Portuguese culture due to the neat and authentic accommodations that are located near plenty of Portuguese shops and tourism. The hosts’ communication was excellent and they answered all our questions graciously and promptly. This stay was a great find and we would gladly book again!

The place was clean and extremely well located in the old historic town. As it is in the old town, the apartment was dated with steep staircase, small kitchen and living room area and tiny bathroom. More than sufficient for 2 people but the main living space is cramped for any more. There was no air conditioning and fans were ok for the October weather. Host communication was excellent and we appreciated the recommendations for location eateries.

Thank you Carolina for all your advice and for meeting us at the apartment.I think it would be helpful to tell folks its a serious climbto the apartment and once inside the building. We enjoyed the museums but found the restaurants in the area lacking.Bar a breakfast spot....Quase Cafe...which was very good.Thank you and all the best.

The apartment is ideally located close to many great attractions with a few hidden gems to eat at. Everything is in easy walking distance. The building itself gives you an excellent vibe of old vintage Lisbon. It was a comfortable and clean apartment. The steps up are very steep, but manageable. The property manager at check in was great as well as the owner when we had to communicate with them. Very pleasant and accommodating. Overall it was a nice place to spend a week for our vacation.
