We had a lovely stay at this apartment. Sofia was very helpful and offered to check in our bags early while cleaning was being done, which meant a lot to us. The apartment was on the 3rd floor so be ready for stairs!
We appreciated the code lock so we didn’t have to carry any keys around. We used the washer/dryer and the coffee machine. The dryer took a very long time, so just be aware. There is a drying rack and iron that we used.
Another thing to note is that the apartment is not directly on a drivable road so you do have to walk a block or so to catch an Uber and more to catch public transit. You’ll be rolling your luggage over the cobblestones :).
It was super fun to watch the live music and dancing crowds at night and drink coffee while watching out the window in the morning.
The street can be very loud with music and activities all through the day and night, but the windows keep out the noise if you fully shut them. It was peaceful to sleep.
Tons of restaurants, bakeries, and dessert places on the same street. There was a few coffee pods in the apartment but not enough for every day. We had breakfast at Paul every morning.
I highly recommend getting a reservation at parreirinha de Alfama to hear amazing live fado music, the oldest fado house in Alfama. It is only about 15 minute walk from the apartment. Many wonderful places in walking distance, including tour pickups.
We did see other apartments in the area for cheaper pricing for similar spaces, but overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend.
