The location is really what you want for visiting Lisbon. This place is right in the heart of stunning Alfama and within walking distance of everything you want to do in the city. The apartment is ideally located down a small side road so you don't get much noise, but there's a whole array of shops cafés and bars right as you come out onto the main street.
It's no more than a 10 minute walk to the main city centre area. Walking around Alfama is definitely the best way to enjoy the area, but the apartment is also right beside the cathedral where there's a tram stop if you can't face the hills! Taxis with Free Now cost €3-5 from most parts of the city, and the fare to the airport cost only around €10.
The apartment itself is lovely - modern minimal aesthetic, tidy and clean. The tall ceilings and windows mean lots of light floods in. There's one aircon in the living room but it really cooled all the bedrooms and the living room when the doors were open. We didn't really use the kitchen but it seemed standard enough.
Salvador was a really responsive host - ensuring we got to the apartment just fine, and was always at hand to resolve any issues we had and really appreciated this!
Two small points to note:
A simple blind for the bathroom window would make you feel less exposed when showering at night time!
It's a wonderfully authentic old building, and like any old building around the world, it became apparent the floors aren't that well insulated from the sound. There may have been a family with a baby above us, pacing around in the early morning hours, which was quite loud that I thought there was someone in our own apartment! Don't let this put you off - it wasn't a huge issue for us, this is just a watch out for anyone who's a light sleeper to maybe bring some earplugs!
I just hope this place is free the next time I come to Lisbon because I will absolutely be booking again!
