Excellent in every respect, as long as you are aware of the stairs (only 2 steep and narrow flights) and the challenges of staying in the wonderful Alfama area (definitely not flat). Elli is fantastic!

Wonderful stay in Alfama

Fabulous location and atmosphere in ancient Alfama. Good restaurants, including a nice Fado place, excellent transportation access. A great place to stay for an authentic Lisbon experience in a very old part of town full of character.

Stay in Alfama

Ellie's apartment was clean, comfortable, in a fantastic location. Ellie was an excellent host, and went above and beyond the norm, she asked and listened to my plans and was very helpful in her directions and recommendation. If you want a taste of Lisbon history, this is an excellent place to stay.

Our hostess Elli was very helpful with lots of information and tips about visiting Lisbon and getting around. We appreciated her friendly manner. Our experience at this VRBO was very authentic and a great location to get a feel for life in Alfama. And I was very clean and had everything we needed. It was amazing!

As advertised, clean second floor, convenient to tram, resaurants and shopping.Only drawback, it's right above a bar next to some stairs where teesn hangout and it's noisy 9-midnight. Otherwise, a comfortable stay.

Thank you for your review. And especially for leaving the apartment in such excellent condition. Alfama is a lively and traditional neighborhood and it is typical for the neighbors to socialize at night to cool off after the very hot days. Especially with the recent heat waves in Europe. I do my best to create a welcoming and comfortable apartment for my guests.

Great Alfama Location

Located on the second floor of an old Alfama building, this is a great location to experience a real Portuguese neighbourhood. It is also close to the rail/bus/tram routes which makes it a great base to explore. Ellie was a great host and we loved staying there. Thanks for everything!

A beautiful apartment in Alfama

I had a wonderful time staying at Elli’s apartment in Alfama. It was very clean and Elli was a wonderful host, giving suggestions on restaurants and things to do! It was really easy to get around on foot from the apartment as center city Lisbon is about a ten minute walk away! All in all, a wonderful experience and I would definitely stay again!

Great location. Convenient. Clean. Owner was super friendly and helpful. Building is older and stairs were a little challenging (ssteep, narrow, low ceiling). Awesome bakery just up the hill. Lots of beautiful tiled buildings all around.

Cozy Apartment in a Great Location

We stayed here four nights - it was a great location. There were many restaurants very close by. We went to hear musicians singing Fado and playing guitars right in the neighborhood. Ellie was great - she answered all our emails promptly, met us at the apartment, and gave us good recommendations. We had a wonderful time!

Perfect holiday home in old town of Lisbon

We enjoyed recovering in the cosy flat after walking through the wonderful city all day long. Quiet as the street is too narrow for cars. Close to a popular view point, many sights and to means of public transport. Ellie is a perfect, warm-hearted host who is extremely helpful before and during the holiday.

In Alfama you'll see and experience the traditions of Portugal. The apartment was clean and Eli was quick to respond to our needs and any questions. Would definitely recommend especially if you want to experience the traditional Portugal.

This lovely apartment in an old building in the heart of the Alfama was a superb base of operations. Elli is one of the most incredible hosts and was extremely helpful to us. The apartment was not luxurious, but rather very clean, simple and thoughtfully equipped with things like guide books (very useful), espresso maker with coffee (deeply appreciated), and even a sofa bed which was made up just in case of any sleep problems. Elli is fantastic! Steep stairs are briefly challenging, and of course, the Alfama itself is not for the faint of heart. Great location to the metro and train station is a plus.
