Lovely apartment in the midst of the Alfama. If u arrive by car, best to park in the cruise ship parking (12 Euros pet day) and walk to the apartment. Beautiful windong cobblestone streets and charming location.

If you’re looking for a stay in one of the oldest districts in Lisboa with an area of lots of character and charm, then this is the perfect place. While, a couple of minutes walk from the nearest road, there are plenty of excellent restaurants near by. As a plus, there is a small market a few doors down.The place is very clean and it would be perfect for a solo traveler or a couple. Marie and Barbara were perfect hostesses and they promptly answered any question I might have. They even checked up on me to make sure I was okay when they heard about the terrible funicular accident.I wouldn’t hesitate to book this place again.

Immaculate comfy home with everything nearby

We had such a lovely time in this beautiful duplex tucked away in the heart of Alfama. It is central to everything and has EVERYTHING you could possibly need for a relaxing vacation. It is immaculately clean, and well supplied for those who like to cook. It that’s not your thing there are many wonderful restaurants and cafes and bars nearby. Our hosts were very kind and accommodating. Oh, and the bedroom is like sleeping in heaven on a cloud. We loved our stay and hope to be back some day.

Don't let the compact size fool you, this apartment is comfortable with new kitchen, bath and very comfortable bedroom. Everything is close and you can walk everywhere. The area is steeped in history with staircases and narrow walkways to lead you to Fado orba sunset that is wonderful. Maria and her daughter are the greatest hosts.

Beautiful, fun experience

This home is lovely, very clean and beautifully updated. The location of this old city gave us a genuine Lisbon neighborhood experience. No cars are able to get to the front of the house so you will need to be able to carry luggage down stairs and walk up and down stairs to get around the neighborhood. Overall we had a great time and the host was helpful to meet us at the home for check in. We had everything we needed for our stay.

beautiful flat

this flat was exactly what we needed. It was in a great location and the host was excellent. She answered our questions and even gave us suggestions on where to eat. The only gripe that we had was that in the listing it says that there is parking available but the parking is a nightly paid lot at the bottom of the hill. The lot wasn't outrageously priced however that would have been good to know prior to arrival.

Our hosts Maria and Barbara were very welcoming and the apartment was clean, comfortable, spacious and centrally located in Alfama. When we had an issue with the hot water not lasting more than a few minutes, both of them came over and checked things out. They were dismayed that the water heater was malfunctioning and they couldn’t get it fixed before our stay ended. They offered to let us out of our stay and give us a full refund. We felt bad that it was out of their control. We ended up staying and they agreed to refund us 1 of the 3 nights.

Alfama Experience

Apartment is clean and the hosts very friendly and accommodating. We found the unit quite dark With bathroom on main floor and bedroom on second floor, it can be annoying. Location is in the heart of Alfama area, walking distance to many attractions. You cannot get a car too close, and have to walk with your luggage up or down steep slopes and/ or stairs, so best to pack light. Overall, it is.a good apartment in a good location. Watch out for dog droppings. LolMaria and Barbara are great hosts.

So wonderful I want to move in!

It was great to be so welcomed when I arrived. The owner and friend were there to be tour guides for all the apartment's and neighborhood's many facilities. The was a binder and tons of pamphlets to familiarize myself with all that Lisbon and surroundings had to offer. The apartment was even nicer than the photos suggest. Everything was spotless and without clutter. The kitchen was well supplied. Alfama was absolutely wonderful and my new neighbors were very welcoming. The location was was ideal, close to shops and restaurants. Fado was everywhere! If you want to experience old and new Lisbon, this is the place!

4/10 Poor

Remember it is Alfama

Due to an very sad unexpected passing away of the owner the review is difficult. The family members did their utmost to help us but we were unaware of what the Alfama district really is all about. The taxi from the train ( 600 meters walking) took over 20 minutes as the street is virtually an alleyway (like most of Alfama). This apartment is clean and nice but only 10 feet wide on both floors and maybe 20 feet deep ( I think all Alfama may be this way) There were numerous others floundering around looking for whatever directions possible and somehow tour groups on the street at all hours looking into a neighbors window at her 10 ft house-Alfama. There are places to eat-no kidding- every 50 feet. There are mini-markets- no kidding every 100 feet. Alfama is an extremely unique and wonderful place to explore BUT NEVER TRUST ANY MAP. There are 4 bus companies doing tours and that in itself is very confusing as two are RED and different ./ Maybe it was us but we are very very well versed travelers usually spending 60 to 90 days touring with VRBO's and Hotels and always travel by rail walking 5-6 miles a day seeing sites ( and yes we are in our 70's) Alfama is one of the most unique places. Once you get "settled" and learn that no streets intersect in Alfama you'll be fine BUT this is a very small place only suitable for TWO. There are no cabinets/shelves to place anything and a small 5 hanger area. It is tiny tiny and with only 3 chairs around a small table no way any more than 2 can survive here. I wish it could be different but I hope being aware is more helpful than hurtful. Name it we've stayed in it but Alfama ranks right up there with "unique"

First of all thank you very much for your review. We think that the listing is well located on the website map, that is a street where cannot pass any car, because it is situated in a historic town. We have on the site that the apartment has 60m2. According to the chairs, in reality one of them is restoring but has you were 2 people, we didnt think that was necessary to have 4 chairs. To finalize we think that the photos are the reality of the apartment.
