Cosy, nicely decorated. Well equipped (e.g. dishwasher, washing machine). Quiet location, but still very close to the sights of Alfama. Be aware of the steep stairs from street level up to apartment itself.

CarLota was very helpful! She greeted us and showed us everything we needed to know about the apartment. She also provided lots of great information about the area and things we may want to do while we were there. She encouraged us to text her at anytime for assistance. The location was perfect for us. The cute little apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. We would stay there again.

Great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment is very well situated to enjoy the old city and it’s many attractions. It is located in a busy, but traffic-controlled, area which limits the street noise to pedestrian traffic. Plenty of restaurants, bakeries and food vendors close by and the apartment is well equipped for preparing light meals. The host and local contact were very punctual and helpful in providing information getting us settled. We would gladly stay here again.

Loved location in Lisbon. Lots of restaurants and ground transportation available. Challenges are 21 narrow steps up to apartment and very slick shower. Also bed 2 hard. This is more for education than anything. Overall really enjoyed this stay.

Authentic Lisbon

My friend and I loved this little place. Tucked behind the road, we escaped the street noise, but it was still bright. It's on the second floor, up some antique stairs. We were fine, but not for everyone. The bedrooms were spacious enough, and although not huge, the living space was certainly all we needed. Great value for the price. A well equipped kitchen, linens, closet space etc... The overall location was fabulous. We could walk a few feet and be at half a dozen restaurants. The old town is the place to be.

Alfama

The apartment met our expectations and was right in the heart of Alfama. However, we found the area itself difficult to navigate even using Google Maps. Be sure to plan your days in advance with lots of time to make it to your planned destinations! Isobel, acting for the owners, made a point of meeting us to let us in earlier than the dsignated check in which was wondeful. She was very responsive to any questions we had. Thank you!

Enjoyed the apartment

The apartment was nice and clean. At that point of our journey, we were glad to have access to a washing machine. Just a note, it took 2 days for our clothes to dry in the apartment. We did not hang them outside. That is not a complaint, just an observation. Another observation is the stairs were difficult for us to climb. On the plus side, the apartment was in a good location for what we wanted to do. As noted before, it was nice, clean, and spacious. Overall, we were pleased with everything.

Right in the middle of things

Great location in the old part of the city. Easy walk to many sites such as Rossio Square train station, hop on hop off bus, tons of restaurants. Quiet at night for sleeping except for garbage pickup in the middle of the night every night that we were there. Beds were comfortable. They provided a nice binder with much info about the city and the apartment which was helpful. Waited 45 minutes to check in because Carlotta had three checkins at the same time - not her fault. The building is very very old and unit very very small. Stairs up are very steep and narrow - we are in our seventies and managed by exercising a lot of caution. Half-sized fridge, tiny bathroom with rusty shelves, shower floor is slippery so should have a rubber mat on the floor, kitchen small but everything functional for breakfast only, otherwise we ate out. Carlotta was extremely prompt and helpful when we had questions.

The place was clean and extremely well located in the old historic town. As it is in the old town, the apartment was dated with steep staircase, small kitchen and living room area and tiny bathroom. More than sufficient for 2 people but the main living space is cramped for any more. There was no air conditioning and fans were ok for the October weather. Host communication was excellent and we appreciated the recommendations for location eateries.

Authentic Portuguese Experience

We greatly enjoyed this flat. It was easy to feel enveloped in the Portuguese culture due to the neat and authentic accommodations that are located near plenty of Portuguese shops and tourism. The hosts’ communication was excellent and they answered all our questions graciously and promptly. This stay was a great find and we would gladly book again!

The apartment is ideally located close to many great attractions with a few hidden gems to eat at. Everything is in easy walking distance. The building itself gives you an excellent vibe of old vintage Lisbon. It was a comfortable and clean apartment. The steps up are very steep, but manageable. The property manager at check in was great as well as the owner when we had to communicate with them. Very pleasant and accommodating. Overall it was a nice place to spend a week for our vacation.
