This apartment setup in Alfama is nothing short of amazing. Such spacious accommodation in such a tightly packed suburb of Lisbon. The apartment itself appears newly renovated and it has a very practicle design with all the basics present which a lot of European accommodation lacks as follows...
- Detachable shower head
- Shelf in shower
- Shower design such that you don't have to flood the bathroom when you have a shower
- Power points/electric sockets all over the apartment
- Full size fridge and freezer
- Washine machine with detergent supplied and clothes rack for drying clothes
- Space in bedroom for 2x suitcases
- Sound-proof windows that open fully
- Good airconditioning
The apartment has been fitted out with stylistic furniture which is great and a few odd pieces which add a nice touch (eg. large world atlas).
The outdoor patio is really nice and is a good place to sit and get some fresh air in piece and quiet while eating breakfast etc.
The location is great too. It is a 100 metre walk to a main street by the ocean where it is easy to catch an Uber/Taxify which is a great way to get around town without having to drive through the narrow streets of Alfama. There is also Fado singing outside the window each night at a restaurant at the square which can be nice to listen to with the windows open or if you need to sleep the windows do a very good job at blocking out the noise.
We dealt with one of the co-hosts (Lara) during our stay and she was super helpful. We were able to check-in a little early and on the last day we were able to leave our bags in the apartment before travelling by train to Porto in the afternoon.
Overall a great place to stay in Lisbon and I would highly recommend to anyone.
