We were met just outside at the property by Carolina, which was helpful, as the apartment is in an apartment building set back from the main road. It is up a flight of steep stairs. Carolina helped us with our luggage. The apartment was charming and clean. One drawback was the limited amount of hot water for showers; enough for one shower, or two very quick showers.

Quiet at night except for the nightly garbage pickup which was not for long. Close to all Alfama experiences. Very narrow steep flight of stairs to the apartment. We were met by a very pleasant hostess who quickly showed us through the apartment. We appreciated the room heaters and extra blankets as it was chilly, being early March. Beds were comfortable enough.

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 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.
