This newly renovated apartment is gorgeous- in an elegant old building with tall ceilings, antique doors, modern closets plus all the modern comforts we could have wanted. We’ve stayed in many Airbnb’s over the years and this is the most beautiful and luxurious we’ve ever stayed in. It was spotless, roomy, had a lot of light, really comfortable mattresses (with incredibly soft sheets), a beautifully equipped kitchen and new bathrooms.
The location is absolutely perfect for visiting all the main attractions and for restaurants, night life etc. However, the apartment is practically next to the Cathedral and the “gateway” to the Alfama district so there is plenty of street noise from early morning to late at night - people talking and partying, Tuk Tuks, cars and even the 28 Tram going by.
In my opinion, if you are a light sleeper, earplugs are a must for the front two bedrooms. The inside bedroom is very quiet.
Our host, Flávia was helpful and easily reachable via email or text, even though not onsite.
We loved our stay and would highly recommend this property.
