Do not pass up this place! Here are the pros:
- the location is so close to the main road in Alfama with a great view of the river
- you can be picked up by Uber outside your door, so no need to walk far. Also means you don’t have to drag backs through the tiny alleyways
- we had the top floor which had 3 private balconies
- since our apartment faced the courtyard it was incredibly quiet
- we were able to get in early to our apartment which was great considering we arrived to Lisbon at 8 am
- the staff has an office on the first floor and provides contact information, super fast in communicating
- the staff was so helpful in providing extension plugs when our adapters didn’t work
- clean space
- plenty of space (and a futon if needed)
- AC worked super well and was not loud at all
- shower pressure was fantastic and hot water didn’t run out
- key code for door entry made it easy to get in and out, can’t lose a key!
- elevator was great so we didn’t have to climb the stairs every time we returned to the apartment
Cons:
- the floors were SOOOO creaky, no way to avoid the sound when walking around
- no washing machine
I can’t say anything else bad about this property. If you want a walkable property, need a kitchenette, plenty of living and bedroom space, this is the location. We loved walking out and finding so many locations to eat and see nearby.
