Fantastic apartment and location
We stayed in this lovely apartment from April 26 to May 1..the location is amazing, walking to all the neighborhoods and attractions and restaurants . Our favourite and possibly one of the best meals we have ever had was at 28 restaurante, just a 5 minute walk from the apartment.The apartment is so cute and met all of our family of 5 needs . Communication with Antione and Fabiola was great. Totally recommend this lovely apartment.

Nice place but mind the stairs
The flat is good in all respect. The website info should point out the state of the flight of stairs. They are very steep and not in good condition. We could not get the tv working. Found good fado and flamenco music on radio instead

Good location
We enjoyed our stay, it was a great location, easy access to everything, including Ubers. Apt was clean and felt safe. Only minor issue was bathroom smell but it seems to be a common theme with a lot of lisbon apts..that being said I still recommend due to the other pros.

Fantastic!
We have spent a fantastic holiday in this house. It is beautiful, newly renovated and with everything you may need. It is located near the city town in a very quiet area with all services. Antonio and Fabiola, the owners, treated us very well. We will come back!! 100% recommended .

Nice location in Alfama close to several attractions. Lot’s of space for a couple and even for a family. The weak electric capacity was something we did not know when doing the reservation. When checking in we were informed about the limited use of electric devices at the same time. For instance we couldn’t use the both heaters which were available.

Apartment was very good however the stairs to the door of the apartment are very steep and tricky. As a senior it was difficult to maneuver up and down especially with luggage.

Great spot to explore Old Lisbon
A perfect spot to stay for our first visit to Lisbon. Carlota and a bottle of wine welcomed us in our arrival. Great communication and advice for our stay (ask about Fado!). We cooked some meals in the well-equipped kitchen and the laundry worked well. We even got to hang our clothes from the line outside the window like the natives! Short walk to the castle and the cathedral (<10 minutes). A bit further to the metro and a 20 minute walk from the Santa Apolonia train station. The stairs are crazy steep and narrow as others have noted. So it would be a tough spot for anyone with mobility issues or who likes to pack heavy.

Enjoyed experiencing an authentic Alfama neighbourhood. Location was terrific. The stairs to the apartment a challenge with lots of luggage...and not for anyone with mobility issues. We did fine. The weather was hot so be prepared for no air conditioning. The apartment had two fans which worked great for us.

Lovely Apartment
Our stay was for 3 months. And, the owner, Antonio, was the kindest and most considerate of landlords. Carlota, who met us was efficient and extremely helpful. There was not much that was negative about this experience, but the area, we found was much too busy with tourists, for what we like, but it was bustling and besides being careful of pick-pockets (which are everywhere in Alfama), it was pleasant. I would definitely recommend this apartment. It had a real stove, and the bathroom was bigger than most Alfama Apartments, so we were happy!

My Mother, Daughter, and I traveled Portugal
I travel extensively, and usually book local accommodations or small hotels. This trip was a very special one with my daughter (25) and mother(72). The apartment was very clean, exactly as described. Carlota met us at check in and explained all details to us, making sure we had no questions. Excellent service. Do be aware of the location, as there are steep stairs. It was a little difficult for Mom, and she is strong at 72. Would recommend if you like clean, simple, and steps are ok. 😄

We stayed there for three days and for the first two days we were struggling to take a hot shower. The how water ran out after the first person took a 5 minutes shower and the rest of the group weren’t able to use the shower after we waited for an hour. We need to wait until the next day morning, and at night the water is cold again.

Good Location
Carlota met us at the apartment and they were accommodating in allowing us to check in a little early. The location is great, but not close to the train, so we took Uber mostly to get around. As other reviewers noted, there are a set of very steep stairs to get to the apartment, so it was challenging for my parents to go up and down the stairs. There was a strong smell coming from the bathroom, which seems to be common in these old building. Also in these old buildings there is no air conditioner. Otherwise, the apartment was clean and we had a good stay.

Location is very convenient right by popular tourist attraction. Nice apartment and host is wonderful meeting us in person and patiently gave us orientation upon our arrival. One thing I must warn folks- especially if you have mobility issues, knee problems, or on the heavier side or simply have a large luggage - I stress this - I read other reviews and thought we are physically active and this can’t be this hard- the apartment is located on the 3rd ( not 2nd!!!) floor of a building near top of steep hill - everyday we walked up and down hill to sight see - it was a nice cardio. We packed light only 15lb carryon and a small backpack each- getting to the building and going up the stairs were surprisingly a struggle for us. So if you have more luggage than this, you should Take a taxi or tuk tuk ( you still need to get up the narrow and steep stairs though ) the streets in the Alfama district are narrow- narrow sidewalks and bumpy ground and sometimes steep stairs -you will need to carry your luggage sometimes. So be warned. Otherwise we throughly enjoy the stay and will recommend the place ! :)
