City Center - Castle Hill Charm - Metro - Old Tram
Cozy one bedroom flat in the traditional Moorish neighborhood, the birth place of Fado. To step foot in Mouraria for the first time is to experience a subtle but immediate shift; a heightening of perception. This once forgotten district is an oasis of local life, which has become a rarity in Lisbon’s center. Here, the labyrinthine streets are teeming with history, evolving for all to The medieval castle and Alfama neighborhood is only 500 meters away and Rossio, lisbon main square, is 500 meters away. The Martim Moniz metro station is really close, 2 minutes walk. Tram 28 passes at the door.

We were mostly using the space as a sleep and shower space, which with two people it was a perfect spot for that. Getting in and moving around in the space is tight. While we were there there was a smell from the sink, the host offered to come check it out. I will also say it was difficult to maintain the correct temperature in the space as a fan and plug in heater were provided. There was uncharacteristically a lot of rain when we stay which was hypothesized by the host for the smell as well as maybe why the temperature varies so much.
If you’re looking for the Portuguese charm and people it is not apparent in this neighborhood - it is more like Bangladesh or India- there’s some decent restaurants nearby but not Portuguese.
The place itself was damp and smelled of mildew. View from the main “terrace” was a building and not street view….and if you’re leaving your window open at night you WILL NOT sleep. Way too noisy.
On the plus side we did get into the place early, before check in time, which was great after a long flight and owner seemed very nice in correspondence via WhatsApp. As well was walking distance to some of the sights but all this didn’t make up for actual apartment.

Close to everything
The property is quirky, steep steps up to the door but once you're in it's really quite nice. The wardrobe is an old suitcase on its side with an added rail, and the drawers are also an old suitcase.
The area looks rough but it's ok. There was no trouble whilst we were there. If you keep out of their bisiness, they'll keep out of yours. The location is great, close to the metro and the square behind Hotel Mundial is the start of the tourist area which is lovely.
You can wander around and always find something new around the next corner or at the end of the street. It is very, very hilly though with steep roads and lots of steps.
The host did not give us any details on how to access the property before we arrived. He knew we would be there around 11.30 pm and I messaged him once we were in Martim Moniz but I received no reply. We arrived at the property but Miguel was not there, I called him but there was no answer. I contacted VRBO and they could not contact him either. They said I would receive a call to find us alternative accommodation as it was past midnight by this time but I did not get the call. We were wondering around trying to find a hotel that had 24hr reception and also had availability. We found one in the end but it cost us 196 euros, not a great start to our holiday.
Just make sure that you receive access details before you go. We did get access details the day after from Miguel so all is good apart from being 196 euros down.
Très bon contacte avec le propriétaire, échanges rapides.Extérieur: L'appartement est bien situé géographiquement pour visiter la ville. Mais il se trouve dans un quartier très sale, avec des points de deal dans la rue.Intérieur: Petit mais fonctionnel pour 2 personnes (déco sympa). Quelques bémols toutefois: forte odeur d'humidité cachée par des diffuseurs de parfun entêtant. Chauffe-eau trop petit pour prendre 2 douches consécutives. Très bruyant, avec la chambre donnant au dessus de l'entrée de l'immeuble. Literie moyenne.
Ottimo alloggio, siamo arrivati sul tardo pomeriggio e nel check-in fatto in autonomia abbiamo avuto qualche problema, ma voglio specificare per colpa nostra, la struttura non c’entra niente colpa nostra, l’unica pecca che bisogna sottolineare è la posizione molto buona ma altrettanto pessima per via della bruttissima gente che guarda intorno, nella via dell’ alloggio c’erano 2 sentinelle di un giro di spaccio incredibile. Lisbona bella ma questo alloggio non lo vediamo più per colpa unicamente della zona pessima e malfamata, da non girare di notte.

Correct
Petit logement vieillot avec peu de rénovations. À un certain charme mais peu manquer un peu de confort. Quartier qui bouge beaucoup mais pas très rassurant le soir. Épicerie, métro tramway accessibles facilement.
Le logement est tres bien situé, proche des lieux emblématiques. C'est un appartement très cosy pour séjourner. De plus, Miguel le propriétaire est tres arrangent tant pour les arrivées que pour les sorties.
Le logement est super, parfait pour quelques jours à Lisbonne. Idéalement situé, pas besoin de prendre les transports, tout est accessible à pied.
De plus, l'hôte est très accueillant et disponible. Merci pour ces agréables vacances :)
Appartement propre à proximité des transports et activités touristiques
La procédure d’entrée est très précise. Miguel l’hôte est très accueillant, même à distance.
Le quartier est « populaire » et peut sembler peu rassurant, mais nous ne nous sommes jamais senti en insécurité.
L’appartement est fourni avec tout ce qui est nécessaire. C’est ancien, mais propre.
Merci à Miguel pour son accueil.
Le logement est à deux pas du métro et du quartier d'alfama. L'hôte est super. L'appartement est bien équipé. Seul bémol: l'isolation du bruit est mauvaise voire très mauvaise mais ne nous a pas empêché de passer un bon séjour.
