I booked the apartment for a colleague and me for one week during the WebSummit. We really felt comfortable there. It was clean and cosy and had everything we needed to prepare our daily breakfast. The view out of the windows was spectacular. Apart from that we only had to walk around 13 minutes to get to the train station Santa Apolonia.
Here I mention some points we would have wished for:
- better communication in the beginning (I asked for a phone number twice so that my colleague could communicate directly with the owner to do the check-in. At the end you she had to wait for him unfortunately and wrote me, but I couldn't answer because I was in the plane still. After the exchange of numbers the communication was super good)
- two keys (as we were there as colleagues we went out and came home at different times)
- beds that are not so extremely soft (but that's our very own opinion of course)
Everything else was awesome, really! We felt like having a home in Lisbon.
One last thing: Take in consideration that arriving with a 20 kilo suitcase is a real struggle because Alfama is super hilly and also the stairs of the apartment are very steep. If you made it, you really going to enjoy your stay!
