The apartment is excellently located in the heart of Alfama and right next to Santa Apolonia metro. This made getting around and seeing everything that Lisbon has to offer very simple.
Alfama itself is a beautiful neighborhood with some awesome cafe and dinner options. We enjoyed some incredible fado performances and generally enjoyed the vibe. The area is reeling a little from the effects of Airbnb however so that was a present factor.
We stayed in this apartment for a whole month which meant cooking a lot and making use of the washing machine (which was a little difficult to figure out). This made it great for a longer stay. The space gets great light during the day and feels airy. Size wise this is a perfect apartment for 2 people to relax, sleep and have space to chill.
We had a few issues during our stay including internet that was down for several days and a leaking water heater in the bathroom. While these were fixed eventually we had to work pretty hard to get responses. Responses were generally slow from our local contact and got a little frustrating towards the end. We weren’t sure if there was one or many people responding, but things seem to get a bit lost. This was our only issue, though. Otherwise it was a good stay!
