About this property

Sun light, views, comfort and the Castle at your feet

Alfama 5 is on the first floor (no lift) of an old building recently fully refurbished.
Renovation was complete and carefully accomplished: pre-existing old materials like the wooden floor and ceilings were incorporated with the new. Apartment has now a modern and well equipped kitchen and a full bathroom, functional bedrooms with large closets and air conditioning (heat and cold) in the living room.
Decoration is sober in a cheerful family style that makes the flat very cozy.

The apartment can accommodate up to 4 people with full comfort. It is composed of a living room and dinning area, modern kitchen and two bedrooms with double beds. A full bathroom and a small storage room complete the apartment.
Alfama 5 has a small balcony and two large windows that let in lots of sunlight. Balcony faces the little square in front of the entrance to the Castle with really nice views and the Castle is literally at your feet.

When I travel, I’m looking for a clean, comfortable, safe and well located apartment. This checked all the boxes, and like the listing said, I spent several evenings by the balcony, drink in hand, Fado playing on Spotify and the Castle at my feet! Our host was also very helpful and responsive. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Everything about our stay was wonderful. We got our exercise walking up and down the hill which was needed with all the great food we ate.
Always knew where to head for home!
Loved the peacocks as I used to raise them. Brought back memories.

We loved the location. Bustling during the day, but then quiets down around dinner time. Enjoyed watching the sunset from the balcony. The host was very responsive and flexible in helping us. Very friendly. Would definitely come back in the future.

Couldn’t get the air to work the first couple of nights - probably user error. We got it on the last night which helped to get our clothes dry. Place was a good location, just didn’t give 5 stars because the beds weren’t all that comfortable and there were so many peacocks crying late into the night. Definitely were not unhappy - had a great time in Lisbon!

Location was good but be aware it is near the top of the area ( have to go back uphill at the end of a day) and that you are right outside the castle which means noisy line ups all day and stores below open until 11:00pm

Beautiful spot with great amenities right in the heart of all the action. Busy during th day but very quiet at night. Steep steps to get in. Check in very easy. Everything you need within easy walking distance. Castle right beside you! Beautiful views. Bit of a walk after taxi/uber drop off but not very hard. Hosts very responsive and accommodating!

Our host was communicative, informative and so welcoming. We loved our time here! Gorgeous views, great access to public transit. One of the best experiences I've ever had with a short term rental. They even provide a drawn map with recommendations which was nice because we did little research before.Very minor opportunities for improvement:Instructions for the washer would be helpful. We had a lot of trouble figuring out the settings and getting it to complete cycles.The hair dryer is a little broken. It works but appears to be melted. Most people bring their own but I had skipped it to save space. The heater in one of the rooms had a smoky smell so we opted not to use it.

Historical atmosphere, nice and clean place

Nice and bright apartment in old house and on historical place (in front of a castle). Attracting old town area in Alfama. Many things to do and see on walk distance. Place is also good for walking in hilly and stony streets.

Nice Place in a Good Location

We enjoyed our stay in this very livable space - kitchen, laundry, multiple spaces for spreading out and relaxing. The location is good for exploring. It's bit noisy at night with local peacocks (who live at the castle next door) and humans - making bird sounds and rolling out recycling. Overall happy with the stay!

Great location - clean and spacious

Four of us stayed for 4 nights. Plenty of space and privacy, excellent facilities, including toiletries and laundry tablets. We loved the location of the property, opposite St George Castle entrance. Great to people-watch from the two large balcony windows. Easy communication with host who organised transfers for us to/from airport.

The location was great, the apartment was clean and the host was amazing. The only issue was that we could hear everything that was going on in the apartment upstairs, as if there was no sound proofing. There was a lot of noises during the night or early in the morning, so we did not sleep well at all during our stay.
