Very comfortable and nicely decorated apartment in the historic area. Diogo was excellent to deal with and very helpful. The apartment is very quiet for sleeping, but close to little bars for music and eating. Highly recommended we had a great stay, thank you.

The host is most welcoming and exuberant to share all the best of Alfama! Stay here for a true Alfama experience with the friendly locals. Don't miss out on enjoying the small vino bar just steps away from the apartment. Central location, clean, well equipped, comfortable and safe. We will stay here again when we return to Lisboa!

Great location, host was very responsive and helpful. When we had trouble getting the lock to work, he answered our enquiry immediately, and coached us in. His restaurant recommendations were spot on. The apartment was comfortable and relaxing. We loved the Alfama, exploring the narrow streets and stairs. The neighborhood can be lively at night, especially on the weekends, but we closed the windows ( the soundproofing is excellent), turned on the floor fan, and it was fine.
