New comfortable and charming apartment in historic Alfama.

This cosy apartment is located in a quiet, pedestrian street of Alfama. The historic building has been completely rebuilt (2012) and, although the façade has been preserved, the interior is completely new: one spacious living room with kitchenette and river view, one bedroom and one bathroom. The apartment offers all modern facilities and is fully equipped. Free Internet, towels and bed linen are also provided.

Only a few steps away you can take the popular tram 28 that rides the scenic tour of Lisbon hills. Check the miradouros nearby and enjoy the dazzling views: Lisbon’s rooftops, church towers and the Tagus. There are Fado restaurants, cafés and tradicional shops, all in the area.

The area is also well served with public transports (Bus, Taxis, Metro and Train). You can explore the rest of the city and return easily!

During your stay, we will do our best to make you feel our apartment as your Lisbon home.

We had a wonderful stay as a couple with teenage daughter. The sofa bed was so comfortable and the apartment was so clean, light and airy. It was quiet at night and a perfect location for exploring Lisbon. João was an excellent host and very responsive.

Perfect location

There was some miscommunication on my end regarding checking in. But João was amazing and made it work in record time. The location is perfect for staying in Alfama. Within walking distance if not only food and markets, but almost every landmark you’d want to see in Lisbon. The bedroom is like a cave and I’ve never slept so well while traveling. If you’re looking for a place to stay in Alfama, look no further.

I think to get a better review the owner should wait for people to come at the condo, give a key, explain and answer the questions.

Always in love with Alfama

Alfama is so enchanting and definitely electric during the evenings of June (read: much late night street noise due to the celebrations of Ste. Anthony). The balcony provided a lovely view of a pedestrian only street and the neighborhood streamers. My teenaged daughters were quite comfortable on the sofa bed as I was in the bedroom. Basic amenities were provided including linens and soaps for body and laundry. The washing machine was necessary for our week long stay as we travel quite light, but we had to get creative with drying as the apartment is not equipped with an clothes line outside the balcony (as is typical in Alfama) or a drying rack. I would suggest to the owner an electric fan or two to move the humid air and to help block out street and apartment noise, a new carpet in the living area (although a nice touch, the current carpet is too dingy to be appealing), and a more thorough check of bed covers - I washed a duvet cover myself as it was visibly dirty. Although not expected, a Nespresso machine and basic pantry items would be lovely touches as well. Those not familiar with Alfama should learn that there are many stairs and hills throughout the neighborhood and that the market is located in Apolonia Station. Planning on returning to Alfama, I would definitely book João’s apartment again.

A great place to experience old Lisbon

Our host was extremely helpful when airline delays caused us to arrive well after midnight. The apartment is located on a quieter passage in an Alfama district made busy by a month long festival, and has a charming view of the old quarter. It is well-equipped, with good public transport options within a few minutes walk at both the top and bottom of the hill. It's a good place to experience life in Lisbon.

Great location, great host!

Our host was great. The Alfama district, where the condo is located, can be confusing, but our host gave us perfect directions to find it. The location of the condo provided a perfect launching point to get to many great restaurants and points of interest. The condo itself was perfect. The bedroom was quiet and dark, so you can catch up on sleep and recharge for the next day. Everything was clean and in good working order. When I return to Lisbon, this will be the place I stay, if available. Chhers!

A real little gem in the heart of the old town, Lisbon

This is a compact but excellently equipped apartment in the heart of the old town. The property is situated in one of the original, old cobbled streets so there are no cars. However it's a short walk from the centre of Lisbon and conveniently located for train, metro and the 28 tram. A short (steep) stroll takes you to 'the viewing point' that everyone flocks to. An excellent choice of restaurants is on your doorstep and this is the Fado quarter so many offer live music. There are river glimses from the apartment. The apartment is clean and fresh and has everything needed. The owner is delightful and the bottle of wine chilling in the fridge was a nice touch. With close proximity to the City centre this is an ideal location. Highly recommended.

Adorable little apartment close to the historic No. 28 tram route

We had a lovely three night stay at João’s apartment in picturesque Alfama neighbourhood. The place was lively, but not noisy, at night with traditional Fado entertainment, restaurants and cafes. We took the No.28 tram (a lovely experience in itself) into town very easily from the Port de Sol nearby. We were able to fit in loads of sightseeing as everywhere was accessible by public transport. Eating at The Teatro Mini Bar was one of the highlights of the trip, plus Torre de Belém, Time Out Market, Escher exhibition, Santa Justa Elevador, National Tile Museum and more. João greeted us with wine and biscuits and was the perfect host. Emma and Neil

Great location, nicely appointed, friendly and helpful host.

We were looking for somewhere in the old quarter, and were pleased with how the apartment was central there and, while being modern, in amongst the everyday residents.

The apartment is a nice size for two. Located on a quiet street in the pedestrian Alfama.

Nice bright main room with nice window and balcony overlooking a quiet street in Alfama neighborhood. The bedroom is tucked away and stays dark for optimal sleeping. Bathroom was clean. Overall a very nice apartment. Half of the fun of staying in this neighborhood is getting lost in the winding pedestrian streets! Enjoy!

Lovely apartment

This is a lovely modern, well kept apartment in a great area of Alfama. It's close to the Portas Do Sol stop for the 28 Tram which is handy when coming back up from the town, (this spot is also a great place for a beer on the terrace overlooking Alfama for note!). Only slight flaw we found was there is no air-conditioning in the apartment, and we had a couple of particularly hot days/nights so we struggled slightly, though there was a portable fan we could use. Joao was great, he was waiting at the apartment for us even though is was quite late, and had provided some lovely biscuits and wine! Thanks for a nice stay Joao!

Lovely Apartment.

Situated in the heart of Alfama, the apartment is cozy, bright, very clean and well equipped. We were met by the owner at the agreed upon time and he was very welcoming. The on line photos are exactly what you get. We were able to walk to many restaurants and shops including the St. Jorge Castle, a must see, as well as further afield without any problem. Lisbon is a fantastic city to explore on foot. Don't miss taking the famous Tram 28 as well as Tram 12. A great experience. We would definitely return to this rental and indeed hope to do so in the fall.
