About this property

Alfama Hill - great view

This charming apartment renovated in 2011 is on the ground floor of the most picturesque quarter of Lisbon – Alfama. It has plenty of sunlight and offers spectacular views over the Tejo river and city monuments.
Perfectly located between the most popular viewpoints Miradouro de Santa Luzia and Miradouro das Portas do Sol where you can enjoy a coffee on the esplanade, contemplate the beauty of the city and visit the Museum of Decorative Art. It is just a few steps away from Lisbon's cathedral, the SĂ©, SĂŁo Jorge Castle, Santo AntĂłnio church (Lisbon’s popular saint) as well as the famous flea market Feira da Ladra. From this apartment you can explore the rest of the city walking to Baixa, Bairro Alto or Chiado.
The apartment is totally equipped and well served by public transports like the old fashioned n.Âș 28 tram, tram n.Âș 12, the mini-bus 37 (their stop are 3 minutes walking distance from the apartment) and it is also at a walking distance to the train station and subway Santa ApolĂłnia. Nearby you have all kinds of traditional commerce, bars, restaurants and the traditional Fado houses.

Cute apartment with a great view

This apartment has wonderful views and is very quaint. Near a small food market, restaurants, and the metro. The landlady was very kind. Beware however, that Alfama is a pedestrian only area. Walking is the only way around, which I enjoyed, but with a suitcase is was a challenge. It was worth all those stairs. Kindly, Christine

Beautiful Home Beautiful Neighborhood

Our stay in Lisbon was one we'll never forget! What an amazing city! And staying in the Alfama neighborhood was the cherry on top. Such lovely homes, buildings, and restaurants all around. The apartment was lovely and spacious! Nice bathroom, nice kitchen, lovely large living space, good bedroom. The view of the water and neighborhood below? Unbelievable! Just be ready for a workout because Alfama is a hilly part of town. My friend and I thankfully only had backpacks for this portion of our Europe travels. If you have luggage, make sure to take a taxi and use the lift so you only have to carry it half a flight of stairs. Monica was an excellent host and very responsive to our queries. Highly recommend her place and would definitely stay again!

Eine sĂŒĂŸe Wohnung mitten in der Alfama, durch die sehr detaillierte Beschreibung gut zu erreichen, wenn man fit auf den FĂŒĂŸen ist.Der Ausblick vom Wohnzimmer auf den Tejo und ĂŒber die DĂ€cher hat uns immer wieder erfreut. Wenn man aus der TĂŒr tritt ist man mitten im Geschehen. Schön ist es wenn der Aufzug genutzt werden kann.Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt.

The GoodThe host appeared friendly and communicative. However we did not need much support as we had been to Lisbon before, so contact was at a minimum. Self check-in and check-out was super easy and straight forward. Location and especially the view from the flat are phenomenal. Good way to keep some calories in check going up and down the Alfama stairs. The apartment is a good size, nice water pressure in the shower and the kitchen has all the basics required during a city trip. We also enjoyed some of the cute decorations like the mid century lamps. The BadThe apartment is somewhat tired and felt a bit sticky overall. And be aware it smells very very musty and damp in there. We had to sleep in the living area as the bedroom area is very small and you couldn’t open the window to air it out. Which really took value for money away and made our stay somewhat uncomfortable and not very well rested. If you have allergies or issues with sinuses this may not be tolerable. Fanning towers are provided but they genuinely need a clean as they are full of dust.

The apartment was fine. Fortunately most of the time the elevator was available. The hours that were listed were not the same as the hours it was open. Other than that, no issues. We appreciated the fans as it was very warm during our visit

Communication avec la Proprietaire rapide et efficace. ClartĂ© des informations pour l’arrivĂ©e facile. Lieu au cƓur du quartier Alfama facilite les dĂ©placements Ă  pieds.PropretĂ©: 1 cafard mort trouvĂ©. La propriĂ©taire assure que l’appartement est traitĂ© annuellement et que cela peut arriver Ă  l’occasion Ă  cause de la chaleur dans ce quartier. Nous avons remarquĂ© des poisons Ă  insectes sous les meubles du salon et comptoir de cuisine. L’Appartement etait propre Ă  l’arrivĂ©e mais les tiroirs et rangement de cuisine n’étaient pas fraĂźchement nettoyĂ©s (grains, poussiĂšre, taches de nourriture etc). C’était peut-ĂȘtre une situation isolĂ©e, mais c’est Ă  vĂ©rifier avant de rĂ©server). Nous aurions espĂ©rĂ© une propretĂ© impeccable mais nous comprenons que ce genre de situation puisse arriver de temps en temps. MalgrĂ© ces quelques inconvĂ©nients, nous avons quand mĂȘme apprĂ©ciĂ© notre sĂ©jour et laissons une bonne note car nous croyons la propriĂ©taire de bonne foi.

A minor issue with the hot water heater. Host had a technician there the next day. In housing in a city that dates back millenia some problems should be expected. You could not ask for a better location or a more accommodating host.

In the center of the most interesting part of Lisbon

Great location but the handy public elevator wasn’t working. Suitcase shuffling as a single was a challenge. Using the stairs each day became easier and great exercise as I toured the city. Well worth it!!

Great place for single or two!

Excellent location in Alfalma with access to so many restaurants and shops (of course it is in Alfalma). Small living room with great view of port and very airy. Kitchen is small but adequate with needed appliances. Bed is comfortable. The place is very clean and owner is very responsive. Overall a very good experience and highly recommend it.

Short stay

Place is located right in the Alfama area of Lisbon. Not for the faint of heart for walking. The elevator in the listing was not in service during our visit, so it ywas stairs only. Place is cute for two with beautiful views to the Tagus where several cruise ships port. The downside is if you have allergies to spores this may not be your place. It because it's near the ocean / rrover does get misty. I am an allergy sufferer and even taking my medication I still got stuffed up. My wife and I didn't have the heat on as it was beautiful and even opened all the windows we could to alleviate the issue with my allergies and it did not help. But as stated other than my allergies the place is set in a gem of an area of Alfama

Alfama Hill character

Very comfortable updated apartment. Spacious enough for more than a few days. The old town location puts you in the middle of lots to see and do. A very walkable area with lots of history and views. Many pedestrian only roads make walking very pleasant. Monica communicated very well using the texting within VRBO, SMS and voice. My US based phone wasn’t getting my texts to her and I would call her successfully when I suspected this could be happening. The arrival directions and access instructions were great.
