This property is exactly as advertised: it's a beautiful space located in the Alfama neighborhood. It was a comfortable place for us to hang out with each other, even when rain kept us off the patio (which is huge!). Climate control in each room was great, and the rooms are sound-isolated from each other and the rest of the apartment. Someone could get up in the morning and make coffee without waking everyone else up. As is common in Europe, there is a washer but no dryer. There are, however, drying racks and heated towel warmers that do a great job on socks. There were only two keys, so we did have to do some careful management in our group to ensure folks doing different things could get in when they needed to.

Well maintained and comfortable. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate so we were not able to take advantage of the nice patio. Property rep, Joyce, who checked us in was pleasant and helpful with sending us information around Lisbon.

Great place to stay in Lisbon as long as you are good with stairs. Excellent location for immersing yourself in the city of Lisbon. Very clean and well-maintained. The property manager was great and very easy to communicate and deal with. Only concern we had was a group of women that the blinds/covers were inadequate in the common space and we observed the neighbors watching us closely. Highly recommend this space!

The apartment had a lot of character just like the neighborhood it is located in. There are many things to see in this area of Lisbon and lots of good restaurants can be found here too.

Clean, nice terrace, nice place. Everything was great.

Great location in historic Alfama. Right in the middle of a neighborhood with narrow cobblestone streets where local still live. Property was great and we enjoyed the outside patio. Had a few hiccups with some drivers not being able to find the location, but otherwise great.

Great location with many restaurants and shops close by. Alfama was our favorite neighborhood

Great apartment, very comfortable with everything you need for a stay. It was a little difficult getting there the first time, but great neighbourhood with lots of small shops, cafe and restaurants to try.

We were so glad to have found this unique apartment large enough to house a family gathering to celebrate my son's 30th birthday. Apartments for 8 are hard to find in the city. Situated in the heart of Alfama, the oldest, most historic and most characterful part of Lisbon, it provided deceptively spacious accommodation. The absolute selling point was having the outside terrace area in which to relax away from the hustle and bustle. As the listing describes, two bedrooms have no windows so having the lovely bright communal areas was fantastic (though the terrace is looking a bit more worn than in the listing). Paula and Nuno were extremely responsive and helpful before and also during our stay - I can't praise them enough. We absolutely loved Lisbon and we look forward to returning.

Very comfortable apartment with room to spread out for 3 generations in quirky Alfama. Even though festival music was loud a few streets away apartment is in a very quiet area. Appreciated the airport ride that Paula (owner) arranged -arrived on time and comfortable ride. Luggit for arrival luggage also worked out very well.

Well appointed apartment with a fantastic outdoor space, perfect for 8 adults. The property’s agent Carlos met us on arrival and was very informative about the city. Good communication with the owners and very easy check in and out, would highly recommend.

We loved this property for our family vacation. Plenty of space for the 7 of us. 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms (varying sizes), nice living space, efficient kitchen, half bath. We were a bit tight when all at the table to eat, but made it work. Lisbon was very hot when we were there, so we didn’t spend as much time on the patio as we’d thought. The room air conditioners were a blessing. Paula was wonderful to work with and very responsive in helping to arrange airport transfers.

We loved this apartment in the historic Alfama district. Spacious enough for 8 adults with a wonderful outdoor space to enjoy. Paula and Carlos were excellent to work with even given our very delayed arrival. The drivers they arranged went above and beyond for us. I would highly recommend a stay in this lovely apartment.

We had a great stay at this property. It’s a beautifully renovated and well-appointed apartment that’s tucked in the center of Alfama. Having the large outdoor patio was a bonus for our group. We wish our stay was longer than 3 days, and if we return to Lisbon we will hope to come back to this apartment!

The property was lovely and in the historical neighborhood. We loved visiting Lisbon. We had 2 grandparents, 2 parents and 2 kids. Just a perfect place to land. You can get anywhere in many different transportation modes around the city. The communication with the owners and the property manager was excellent from start to finish! We would highly recommend you stay here.

This was a wonderful place to stay while visiting Porto. There was more than enough space for all 7 of us. The cat Rita is super cute as well!

We loved this apartment! Beautiful and in the heart of the Alfama. The apartment had everything we needed and convenient location. Nuno was great answering our questions and providing recommendations. Would highly recommend!

It can be hard to find a centrally-located property that's big enough for our family of 8, but this 4 BR apartment was perfect. We liked the way the bedrooms are along a "wing" away from kitchen and living room. Super quiet in the bedrooms. Also nice to have individual AC controls in each room. Great kitchen, too. We were unable to use the outdoor area due to lots and lots of rain ... but looked lovely. You might want to grab some paper towels, coffee, and body wash; as the apartment does not include those niceties.

We spent 3 wonderful days in Lisbon and stayed in this centrally located apartment in the heart of Alfama. We had everything we needed and we really appreciated the information book provided by Carlos and Fatima which had some great tour and food recommendations. My favorite was Alfama Doce’ which was a coffee and pastry shop just steps from our front door. We were challenged in finding nearby parking and the apartment was a bit difficult to locate. Once we accomplished that - everything was great!

I can’t say enough about this apartment but three things stand out especially. The apartment is beautifully furnished. The air conditioning works great even in the Lisbon heat. The apartment is huge (4 bedrooms / 4 bathrooms) in the heart of Alfama. Amazing. The winding streets of this ancient neighborhood are literally at your doorstep. We were their during Festival of Lisbon. We watched live music right from our window. One thing to be aware is the narrow streets make getting the luggage in and out a challenge. Definitely use the LUGGit service recommended by the hosts. The hosts are also amazing. So passionate about Lisbon and especially Alfama. They also really were accommodating with check-in when one of our daughters was ill. I couldn’t ask for more. Thank you so much!

This is a spacious, clean and comfortable apartment in the heart of Lisbon. The communication was excellent throughout with the owner/manager. Definitely recommend!

We adored our stay at this spacious, four-bedroom flat in Alfama. The home was clean, well provisioned, beautifully located, and has an envy-inducing outdoor area for rest and cocktails between a day of sightseeing and an evening of dining. The location is ideal, if you want to stay in Old Lisbon among twisty cobbled paths and mysterious staircases. It’s just up the hill from all the shops you could want (including a quality and shockingly well-priced pastry shop), and just down the hill from acesss to the 28 tram and castle. Fatima and her team were lovely and accommodating, including providing excellent directions in a confusing place, and top-rate suggestions for restaurants. Stay here. You won’t regret it.

Fatima has been a pleasure to communicate with and Carlos was extremely friendly and supportive upon check in and check out. He also gave valuable tips where to go and what to do. The apartment fits perfectly to the description and pictures. We enjoyed the details (e.g. sufficient towels, toilet paper and coffee). Some minor issues (e.g. not perfectly moving shower door or terrace door) could be fixed right away (7 friends all talented tool time guys). Aircon worked excellent and was required, as we have had fabulous weather. I’d recommend to decorate the terrace a bit more (e.g. some plants), so that the terrace (which is big and enjoyable) lives up to the excellent interior design. Great city, great location and great host - thumbs up.

The place was great. More importantly, Fatima and Joyce really stepped up and helped us through our stay at an obviously difficult time. I cannot recommend this property, and its owner, highly enough.

Nice place but older than it seems in the pictures and had some issues with the shower door not closing and the door to the bathroom in the master bath could not be shut. They did promise to fix it before the next people arrived

We were a group of 8 friends visiting Lisbon and this apartment couldn't have been more perfect for our stay. It's location in the heart of Alfama made it a great place for exploring the city. Also, Fatima was very helpful in arranging airport transfers and providing recommendations for things to do and see. Our visit was too short! We plan to visit again soon and will definitely rent either this or another one of the apartments Fatima owns!

Magical experience!

This property was perfect for my children and their girlfriends. We each had a bathroom. The apartment was spacious with living and sleeping separated. Young ones could stay up late without disturbibing us old folks. Porch and and kitchen were great!

This property is a perfect place from which to explore Lisbon. It is large, pleasant, comfortable and clean. The location is perfect for exploring Alfama and the rest of Lisbon

Firstly, location wise the apartment is perfect. Extremely well maintained and clean. Having the addition of the outside seating is a real bonus as well. Communication with the management company was excellent. Only a few minor negatives. Although the apartment is set up for 8 people, there is not enough seating in either the lounge area or in the outside area for 8 people. These are only minor issues though and would highly recommend this apartment.

The VRBO is located in the Alfama area of Lisbon which is very lively and central to everything. The apartment is over a restaurant and a very busy street so the 2 front rooms have a fair amount of noise through much of the evening. That factor is part of being in Alfama, so it didn't bother us too much. The back patio is the nicest part of the apartment. and is great for outdoor eating/socializing. What I felt to be lacking was the state of the VRBO amenities when we arrived there. There were no paper towels (and Daniel acknowledged that there should be some), no dishwasher detergent, even though we were required to run the dishwasher, no plastic wrap or foil or containers to put leftovers (it really defeats the purpose of staying at a place with a kitchen if you can't really store any food?), no shampoo, conditioner or bath gel in any of the bathrooms (which is STANDARD at any other VRBOs in which stayed in Portugal). What was the most bothersome is that when we were checking out, Daniel came to me and said - "2 towels are missing" rather than - " I need to inventory the towels and can only locate x number - perhaps I have overlooked 2 towels?" - had he looked in all the rooms, he would have seen the "missing 2 towels". Quite frankly, I ran a VRBO in the states for 10 years (all 5 star reviews). Never, ever would I suggest that someone took a towel from our home - after all - that is the cost of doing business. I think that because the original owners are no longer directly involved with the oversight of the property, it does not have the same level of detail as it did in the past. When I communicated with Fatima, the owner, she was always very professional and helpful. I always appreciated any feedback from my visitors when I ran my VRBO as that was the way I could improve the level of service to make future guest as comfortable as possible.

This really is a fabulous apartment, very comfortable and clean, powerful showers and lots of hot water! The location is perfect for strolling around Alfama and also a very easy walk into the centre, easy and cheap to get a taxi if you don't want to walk. Communication with Fatima and her team was excellent both before and during our stay. Lots of helpful information provided. Thank you Fatima for a wonderful stay!
