The apartment is great for a short term stay, central location in Alfama and easy to get around. Take the 728 bus to Belém for 2.30 euros. Travel hint: use Museu do Fado as your GPS location, unless you want to climb all the hills. We did it until we learned it’s so much faster and simpler using the museum as the location. Paulo picked us up from the train station and explained everything in the apartment. Fantastic! Thank you Paulo for all your hints and tips, especially showing us the koala! Wonderful stay, wonderful Lisboa!

From the moment we booked this apartment Paulo was the perfect host. Great communication up to and including our stay in Lisbon and the airport pick up was so appreciated. The apartment is in a great location in Alfama with its small, winding alleys , close to amazing restaurants and had everything you would need. And we have to mention the incredibly comfortable bed. It was a pleasure to meet Paulo and have the opportunity to see some of beautiful Lisbon. Highly recommend.

The location was very central, although as other reviews have mentioned it is on the side of a hill. However it was only a 5 minute walk to the top where shops and restaurants were plentiful! The view from the balconey was spectactular! We did end up using the electric barbeque one night for some beautiful pork sausages from a butcher up the hill. Would highly recommend...we found it the right blend of location, views and amentities to fit our first days in Lisbon!

Paulo is a fantastic host. From picking us up at the airport to offering advice on where to eat/things to do, simply top notch. Even after leaving Paulo still offers suggestions or help whilst still in Portugal. And if you want a true Alfama experience staying on a pedestrian only road is not to be missed

The location in Alfama was wonderful. The area has a labyrinth of narrow streets & pathways. Every time we went a different path we found a different small square with vendors selling their own Porto. There are more restaurants & small local places there isn’t possibly enough time. As we ventured into other areas of Lisbon we found them much busier so vibe in our area was great. Thanks so much to Paulo. He’s a great host & easily reachable.

Location location location. The Alfama neighborhood of this apartment is magical. Opening up directly into a warren of alleyways, stores and family run eateries - it really seems like a movie set more than real life and we loved it. Walkable to everything and our host Paulos guidance and exceptional commitment to making our stay special really set the stage for a wonderful set of adventures in Lisbon and the surrounding area.
