We had a comfortable stay. The Alfama area and apartment are a great central location and in walking distance of the main sights of Lisbon or transport links. The building of the apartment is beautifully tiled and has a great pizzeria below that does take-aways for tired tourists. Sadly the apartment is next door to major building works which start at 0800 and finish at 1800. It was very noisy. There are so many lovely aspects of the apartments. We particularly enjoyed:
-The location so close to Se Cathedral and Praca do Comercio.
-the fantastic power shower
-the balcony overlooking the river and watching the huge cruise ships docking.
-comfortable bed and luxury linen.
What would make it better:
- having a dishwasher that worked. It has been broken since March.
- replacing the broken tv with a Smart tv
- having tea- towels available. We had to use the bathroom hand towel
- better communication, not always answering our messages or contacting us to explain check in detail
- lighting that works, we replaced some bulbs but there are areas that don’t work.
It’s a beautiful apartment and very spacious but feels a little unloved by the owner.
