This is a beautiful apartment in the heart of Lisbon, but on a quiet street with little to no traffic. Communication was easy, and Rute, who welcomed us, was a wealth of knowledge about the city and the country. One of our best, authentic meals during our holiday was her suggestion. Having access to a kitchen and a washing machine wee much appreciated.

Great location in a lovely neighborhood feel. Be ready to climb up and down the hill and get lost in the Alfama! Heard peacocks in the morning from the castle. comfortable rooms and furnishings. Host was a delight with extremely helpful and expensive suggestions.

Everything in the listing is accurate. The apartment was very clean and the host was very communicative. They provided excellent recommendations for things to do, places to eat, banks to use, etc. The guide was very useful. Location was fantastic! It's central to old town Lisbon and walkable to downtown. The only downside is that there is no AC, so the apartment gets very stuffy in the summer heat. Fortunately, there were powerful fans to help with that. We would stay again for location, cleanliness and helpful host.

This was a perfect stay. The apartment was lovely. The neighborhood was perfect, an easy ride to any place in Lisbon. Plus, the neighborhood was full of wonderful places to eat. We felt comfortable and at home the whole time. We actually asked if it was possible to rent for a month in the future. Ruth provided so much information it was like having a private guide. We strongly recommend this apartment!

We had a wonderful stay at this charming Alfama apartment.Our hostess met us at the apartment and provided so many great recommendations along with lots of helpful information, which we really appreciated. We referenced it daily!The apartment was extremely clean and very comfortable. We were especially happy with how comfortable the beds were. The bathroom was spacious, and the dehumidifier worked exceptionally well.While we loved the location, it’s worth noting that there is quite a bit of uphill walking in the area. Ubers are available, but we truly enjoyed walking through the hidden streets and exploring Alfama on foot.

The apartment was described as noted and met all of our needs. Very quiet central location in walking distance to shops, restaurants and grocery store. Received a great welcome from Ruth who provided us with information on the area, showed us around and introduced us to the local market where I purchased a great pair of handmade sandals. Ruth was definitely a plus to making our experience in Lisbon a great one!!

Ruth was amazing, she met us at the apartment and spent a lot of time going over maps and answering questions. She later sent me a list of things to do and see and those that weren’t worth the time. Overall her recommendations were very helpful.

Great location in the oldest historical neighborhood. Walking distance from downtown Lisbon location. The building manager (Rute/ Ruth) speaks several languages fluently (Portuguese, English, French) and is very helpful and knowledgeable about the city and Portugal in general. Should you be over 6 feet (185cm) watch your head going though the door leading to the toilet. Important: No AC.

Accessible and convenient in the Alfama

This is a clean, well located apartment in the Alfama, which is a prime Lisbon neighborhood. It is easy to access due to its being on the ground floor, important with transporting luggage. The property manager was prompt and very thoughtful with her suggestions for entertainment and food. While I'm quite sure that this is a non-smoking apartment, the neighbors do smoke and the subtle smoke smell is inescapable/ present. This is not possible to avoid, as smoking appears to be more tolerated in Portugal. Other than that, this is a wonderful space that has all the amenities that you would want to explore this wonderful neighborhood / city.

6/10 Okay

Disliked: Check-in, communication
The map pin and directions for Uber drop off were completely inaccurate. We were told many details by text that made us think we were well taken care of, but in the end, it was completely unhelpful. We were dropped near by with no clear way to find the place ("tell the driver to turn right" but she left out the part about turning left from the pinned place to get to the street where we were to turn right!), so we ended up in two Ubers, and by the time we arrived, the host kept slipping in rude comments and questions about why we were late and blaming us for missing her bus (even thou we actually arrived just before 3pm when the listing says is check in time). During the tour, the host told us that the microwave was recently broken and couldn't be fixed in time for our visit, which seemed unlikely, and actually asked us if we would let an electrician in during one day of our stay to repair exposed wires in the bath/laundry room. The host also let us know that one of the coffee pods was used because she had to have one while she waited for us. No mention of replacing it, and still accusing us for lateness when the directions were inaccurate. The rooms themselves are very comfortable and set up beautifully. The area had a few decent cafes and supermarket within a 10 minute walk. Skip the "famous" flea market on Sunday - garbage. It's a nice enough place, and I recommend it if you have time enough to wander to find it. Pack lightly because all the streets are cobblestone.

Die FeWo ist mittelgroß. Ist schlauchartig aufgebaut. Ganz im letzten Eck befindet sich das wirklich schöne Bad. Dort ist die Deckenlüftung etwas unzureichend. Man hat aber einen Entfeuchter hinein gestellt, der ständig läuft. Danach bewegt mach sich durch eine moderne Küche (ohne Tageslicht), gelangt an der Eingangstür vorbei in das Wohnzimmer, von dem zwei Schlafzimmer mit Doppelbetten abgehen. Dadurch wirkt das Wohnzimmer etwas, wie ein überbreiter Flur. Leider ist keine Klimaanlage vorhanden. Die Lage der FeWo ist fantastisch.

Response from Management on 2 Oct 2026
Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, Ihre Eindrücke so ausführlich zu schildern. Es freut uns besonders, dass Ihnen die fantastische Lage der Wohnung und das Badezimmer gefallen haben. Das Apartment befindet sich in einem älteren, traditionellen Gebäude in Lissabon, wodurch bauliche Veränderungen wie die Installation einer Klimaanlage leider nicht ohne Weiteres möglich sind. Eine Klimaanlage gehört daher auch nicht zur angegebenen Ausstattung der Wohnung. Für die wärmeren Tage stehen unseren Gästen Ventilatoren zur Verfügung. Der Luftentfeuchter im Badezimmer wurde bewusst aufgestellt, um die Belüftung zu unterstützen und für ein angenehmeres Raumklima zu sorgen. Vielen Dank nochmals für Ihr Feedback und für Ihren Aufenthalt bei uns.
