Our stay was amazing! It was so nice to have extra space and a kitchen after all the tight hotel rooms we had while traveling!
Location is in the heart of Alfama, an interesting old neighborhood loaded with character. Convenience stores and neighborhood bars with live music and good vibes are steps away.
I'm so so glad we stayed here! But, the challenge of getting bags upstairs is real. Steps are narrow and steep and you have to go up a few flights. We managed it, but older folks or people with any mobility problems would have a really hard time. You'll also need to climb steep cobblestone stairs and hills all around Alfama.
Streets leading into the neighborhood have retractable barriers for cars. Taxis could lower the barriers to take us right to the door of the building, but Uber pickup/dropoff points are forever away. Take a real taxi (not Uber) when you have luggage.
For a nice, bright, comfortable space in a unique neighborhood, this is your place! Thanks Goncalo & Miku!
