The fear is somewhere will be smaller than you think, or pokey; this apartment was absolutely a great size for the two of us. Proper useable kitchen, everything you need from a shower/bathroom (including window), good sized double bedroom with hanging and storage, and a lovely living room. I can't fault it. As for the location, I don't think we could have wished for better; Alfama is a perfect spot for exploring around and also served well as a public transport hub for the rest of the city and beyond; buses and trains easily accessible. The flat was very easy to get to from a taxi drop off at the Fado Museum. Lots of great places to eat and have a drink round about, of course with some Fado thrown in.Our hosts were making sure everything was ok during our week long stay and answered any questions quickly.I would definitely stay here again and have already passed details on to friends. Thank you so much our dear hosts.

Alfama Stay

The apartment was spacious with wonderful airflow, and located in the most picturesque little ally! It was right in the heart of Alfama, close to many restaurants and shops, with loads of cool cobblestone streets and winding allys. It was easy to catch an Uber from the Fado Museum, a few minutes walk away. The apartment had everything that we needed for an excellent stay!

Great location, comfortable apartment

Joao met us to show us to the apartment and was very helpful with orienting us to the area and local restaurants/ sights. The apartment was clean and comfortable with everything we needed. It was in the heart of alfama with great restaurants and coffee shop as soon aa you walked out the door. In the center of all the festivities for san antonio festival , but with new soundproof windows to ensure a quiet sleep at night. The stairs are a bot steep to the apartment, bit a small price to pay for the perfect spot

8/10 Good

Great value for the Alfama experience

May 26 to 31, 2016 Don't let the entrance and stairs deter you. The apartment is well appointed and close to some great "hole in the wall" restaurants and bars. Great place to immerse yourself in the local culture.. Rita and Joao were helpful and welcoming to travellers coming from Canada through Heathrow and not likely at their best. Walk to St. Georges castle for both history and incredible views. Walk to Rossio station and take the train 35 minutes to Sintra for even more stunning views and have lunch at Dona Maria's on the way down from the Pena estate. In Lisbon, try Sacremento's for a wonderful buffet lunch with great staff and ambience (we left the card on the wall in the apartment). Every morning we enjoyed our Americanos in the square across from the Museo do Fado, sometimes with a Portugeuse tart. The Chapman's Ontario, Canada
