We spent a week here in May 2022 and had a fantastic time. This apartment is an exceptional value for a couple wanting to be in the heart of Alfama. Realistically, I think this apartment is best for two adults or possibly two adults and one child. When we went we had very flexible check-in and check-out times, which was nice given the times of our flights. A few things prospective renters should be aware of:
There is one (quite comfortable) queen size bed.
There is a very nice washer - but no drier. If you packed light like we did be sure to wash clothes often, as they will need time to dry on the line.
The shower has two doors, figure out how to work them properly to avoid water on the floor after you bathe.
The hot water is VERY hot, and the tap water is pleasant to drink.
The kitchen has everything you need to cook meals in.
There is a decent, small grocery at the top of the hill (MiniPreco). That is your best bet for provisions, it's the only one of any size. Do not expect American-sized supermarkets in Alfama. Take reusable bags hanging by the washer.
Odds and ends are quickly purchased at a store 50m from the apartment, and those very small stores are all over Alfama.
Do not even THINK about renting a car. Seriously. Uber is your (inexpensive) friend, and public transport is good.
There are restaurants EVERYWHERE in Alfama. If you don't want to go far, we were very pleasantly surprised by the nearby pizza shop (Estacao), typical Portuguese restaurant Salsa (had a really good sirloin there), and Insano Gelato had very good homemade gelato and ice cream. Do NOT let hole-in-the-wall restaurants scare you off, some of our best meals were there. Nearby Ti Natercia is where the locals eat, but we could not get a reservation from the grumpy owner and Copenhagen Coffee was overrated. There are restaurants EVERYWHERE in Alfama, most small, and you will have zero problems finding good food, which is very affordable.
ATMs are everywhere including right outside the apartment, but we should have got our Euros from home, smaller fees and better exchange rate.
The famous 28 Trolley literally goes past the apartment and will take you to the Baixa (Bye-shah) district. It is almost always crowded, best time to ride to see the city is early in the morning. It's cheap with the Via Viagem card, which you should definitely get.
You are close to Castelo de Sao Jorge, which offers amazing views of the city. Go there WHEN THEY OPEN and avoid the crowds. This is generally true of ALL the popular attractions in Lisbon, do yourself a huge favor and be there when they open.
