Overall an okay stay. I would not however recommend this place.
- the stair case is awful. It’s very vertical and awkward to get up and down, as is the actual entrance from the staircase into the apartment. We did know this but with no pictures, it was a lot worse than we expected.
- in prior reviews we read the shower door was broken (wouldn’t close all the way), and the toilet seat was broken too. We assumed these would be fixed, and unfortunately they weren’t.
- not the owners fault, but the building itself is a very old building which provided zero sound proofing.
We could hear perfectly clear conversations. This made for very bad sleeping.
- there were two bedrooms, and only one fan…it would of been nicer to have two fans, one for each bedroom especially when there was no AC. The fan also would of provided some sort of white noise to block out the loud neighbours.
- make sure you know, a car can not drop you right off at the door, there is several stairs to climb, and then a walking road to get to the apartment (just good to know if you have a lot of luggage).
Check in was fairly easy, the directions were a little confusing but okay.
- we wanted to like this little air bnb on the Alfama area however, it wasn’t for us.
