This apartment was ideally situated in the heart of Alfama on a tiny cobbled alley. It is too narrow for cars and hence was quiet. The apartment is spotlessly clean with a wonderful living area and kitchen. We used the kitchen to make 2 evening meals and there were sufficient pans, crockery and utensils to self cater if required. The nearest supermarket is within the Santa Apolonia train station close by where there is a fresh fish counter and lots of choice - the well known pastelaria Alfama doce is only 70 meters away and offers wonderful pastries and coffee. Ideal prior to a hectic day seeing the sights.
Joao who owns the apartment was excellent as he quickly responded to emails and met us at the apartment to explain how everything worked and to assist with any queries.
We have stayed at other city apartments around Europe and this must rate as the best - spacious, clean, well decorated, equipped and furnished. It is in a wonderful old neighbourhood and we thought it was an excellent choice. Added to that, it was really quiet of an evening and it was perfect to relax after a hectic day sightseeing
Well done Joao, I would highly recommend the apartment to all.
I would also commend the easy booking process through Trip advisor - no issues at all and a very smooth process

My husband and I stayed in Portugal for a month, using this charming apartment (great location) as a "base camp". We are really glad that we had this apartment to come "home" to - makes travelling to the other parts of Portugal much easier (we used day-packs for our travels instead of hauling everything). Our host was most kind and thoughtful (really enjoyed the wine and crackers he left for us upon arrival, after a long day of travelling). All of the amenities we needed were included (wifi; weekly cleaning; full kitchen; washer, etc) - we would definitely do this again.

Two of us spent four nights in this cozy apartment before heading to the coast for 6 days of hiking. Our stay here was one of the highlights of our trip. .It was clean, perfectly equipped and we were able to make ourselves at home right away. The location is superb. Anyone who visits Lisbon ought to experience Alfama and there is no better way than to stay there. It has a lovely, historic feel to it. We treasure having had the opportunity to stay in the midst of daily living in the Alfama neighborhood.
We were able to find good restaurants nearby and also found it easy to catch taxis and public transportation. We like to walk and found that we could walk to many attractions.

The appartement is small, but cozy, super clean and recently renovated, or at least kept actual in decoration. We loved the place and the charm of the surrounding streets.
The owner was super helpful and friendly, he waited for us as we came by plane and had no cellphone to advise of our arrival time.
If I were to go back to Lisbon, I would most certainly try to book this appartement again.
Only downside, no car access and there is some steps to get to the appartement, but it is well worth the charm of the place!

3 reviews Clean, homey unit in the Alfama area; walking distance to restaurants, bakeries, small markets, metros and buses; comfy. Good location as a base to see Lisbon and surrounding barrios. Joao was helpful, in suggesting local places to eat.
Thank you so much for your five stars review! :)
I'm glad you liked it. I hope you keep on having a nice time. If you ever want to come back we will be glad to have you as our guests again.
All the best, João
