Great Alfama Location

Located on the second floor of an old Alfama building, this is a great location to experience a real Portuguese neighbourhood. It is also close to the rail/bus/tram routes which makes it a great base to explore. Ellie was a great host and we loved staying there. Thanks for everything!

This lovely apartment in an old building in the heart of the Alfama was a superb base of operations. Elli is one of the most incredible hosts and was extremely helpful to us. The apartment was not luxurious, but rather very clean, simple and thoughtfully equipped with things like guide books (very useful), espresso maker with coffee (deeply appreciated), and even a sofa bed which was made up just in case of any sleep problems. Elli is fantastic! Steep stairs are briefly challenging, and of course, the Alfama itself is not for the faint of heart. Great location to the metro and train station is a plus.

A beautiful apartment in Alfama

I had a wonderful time staying at Elli’s apartment in Alfama. It was very clean and Elli was a wonderful host, giving suggestions on restaurants and things to do! It was really easy to get around on foot from the apartment as center city Lisbon is about a ten minute walk away! All in all, a wonderful experience and I would definitely stay again!

Cozy Apartment in a Great Location

We stayed here four nights - it was a great location. There were many restaurants very close by. We went to hear musicians singing Fado and playing guitars right in the neighborhood. Ellie was great - she answered all our emails promptly, met us at the apartment, and gave us good recommendations. We had a wonderful time!

The Couer d'Alfama apt is very clean and cozy with a well supplied kitchen and had everything we needed for our four night stay. It is very well situated, truly in the heart of the Alfama. A short walk down is the busy waterfront and many transportation options. A short walk up are some great restaurants and larger markets. Several gorgeous viewpoints are a few minutes walk away as is the no. 28 tram. The bar/restaurant downstairs stays open late and can be noisy, but if you close the windows it is quiet. Ellie was a gracious hostess, sending detailed directions on getting to her place, even meeting us in the evening to walk us over. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Perfect holiday home in old town of Lisbon

We enjoyed recovering in the cosy flat after walking through the wonderful city all day long. Quiet as the street is too narrow for cars. Close to a popular view point, many sights and to means of public transport. Ellie is a perfect, warm-hearted host who is extremely helpful before and during the holiday.

My friend and I stayed in Lisbon for the first time and this apartment is the ideal location! It is very walkable with many restaurants around and close to the city. Metro and buses are also an easy walk away from the apartment. Ellie was an amazing host with great communication and the check in process was very easy. She was also very helpful with letting us know things about transportation and the city of Lisbon. Would highly recommend staying here!
