Enjoyed the apartment

The apartment was nice and clean. At that point of our journey, we were glad to have access to a washing machine. Just a note, it took 2 days for our clothes to dry in the apartment. We did not hang them outside. That is not a complaint, just an observation. Another observation is the stairs were difficult for us to climb. On the plus side, the apartment was in a good location for what we wanted to do. As noted before, it was nice, clean, and spacious. Overall, we were pleased with everything.

First time in Lisbon

We greatly enjoyed our stay. The apartment had the two bedrooms promised, although the second one was stuffy with no outside light and no ventilation except leaving the door open. We didn't really understand about recycling as the bins at the bottom of the street seemed to mix everything together and it wasn't clear where to put organic materials. It would have helped to have a container for organic materials. We didn't do any cooking but appreciated having some coffee already there. A suggestion: tell guests that they can take the 12 or 28 tram from the Martin Moniz metro station instead of walking uphill.

Right in the middle of things

Great location in the old part of the city. Easy walk to many sites such as Rossio Square train station, hop on hop off bus, tons of restaurants. Quiet at night for sleeping except for garbage pickup in the middle of the night every night that we were there. Beds were comfortable. They provided a nice binder with much info about the city and the apartment which was helpful. Waited 45 minutes to check in because Carlotta had three checkins at the same time - not her fault. The building is very very old and unit very very small. Stairs up are very steep and narrow - we are in our seventies and managed by exercising a lot of caution. Half-sized fridge, tiny bathroom with rusty shelves, shower floor is slippery so should have a rubber mat on the floor, kitchen small but everything functional for breakfast only, otherwise we ate out. Carlotta was extremely prompt and helpful when we had questions.

Access via very steep stairs which were not well lit. Space was fine for two people but would be cramped for four. Certainly seating for four would not be comfortable. Good supply of hot water for showers.

Great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment is very well situated to enjoy the old city and it’s many attractions. It is located in a busy, but traffic-controlled, area which limits the street noise to pedestrian traffic. Plenty of restaurants, bakeries and food vendors close by and the apartment is well equipped for preparing light meals. The host and local contact were very punctual and helpful in providing information getting us settled. We would gladly stay here again.

Alfama

The apartment met our expectations and was right in the heart of Alfama. However, we found the area itself difficult to navigate even using Google Maps. Be sure to plan your days in advance with lots of time to make it to your planned destinations! Isobel, acting for the owners, made a point of meeting us to let us in earlier than the dsignated check in which was wondeful. She was very responsive to any questions we had. Thank you!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
There was a lot that was disappointing about this apartment. You are provided the bare minimum, not even a whole paper towel roll and three tiny toilet paper rolls (for the whole week) in which when we asked for a refill we were told to buy it ourselves. The oven didn't work, which was the biggest disappointment as we got the place based on the kitchen and size which I'm skeptical it is 650 sq feet as it was very cramped. It smelt like sewage in the apartment and cigarettes. We were asked to take out the trash but not provided trash bags and although I left the apartment spotless I found it insulting to be asked to clean when we are paying a cleaning fee. I think the apartment is overpriced. We didn't have the support we needed and communication was lacking. The walls are also very thin; you can hear the surrounding apartments very clearly. The best part about this place is the location. Overall, I cannot recommend this place nor would I stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay in this apartment for 5 nights. Can you say location location location. Apartment is small but we didn’t spend much time inside Well equipped with a coffee pot and provided coffee and sugar. We did use the wine glasses. This is in a very old building with steep stairs leading to the apartment which added to the old world charm. Plenty of restaurants near by and steps from the #28 trolly.

OK—Not Great

Host’s proxy was 1/2 hour late to let us in. She sent a text message, though we had clearly explained that we had no mobile phone. Very steep, dark, dank-smelling staircase to get to the apartment. TV and fan would have been more useful in the bedroom.than in the hallway leading to the extremely cramped, tiny bathroom. TV did have good English, as well as Portuguese, channels. Bed was comfortable. Didn’t use the kitchen much, but the coffee maker was a plus. Did not think it appropriate to expect the guests to empty/carry down the garbage at the end of their stay.
