The apartment is small but sweet, it’s the perfect place for a city break within Lisbon - my wife and I had a fantastic holiday and the location of this apartment helped a lot.
There’s load of great cafés around for breakfast and it’s really easy to get around, plus close to the metro and train station.
Hugo, Adelaide and Paulo were very attentive for checking in on us our stay. However, were slow in replying when we did need help and didn’t give us any idea on if they would solve our issue or not. One of the balcony doors was broken (off of the hinge and open), which meant that we had a door open for 3 nights. This normally would be fine, but the door faces a square where noise echoes very easily. Given it’s in the heart of Alfama, where there’s several fado bars and lively people this wasn’t great for getting a good sleep when we needed to get up early for day trips. Without any communication from the hosts, we came back to the door being fixed.
Also this specific apartment sits below another Airbnb which depending on the guests at the time, could be very noisy… thankfully this was only for half of the stay. The fridge and washing machine doors also could do with adjusting, as they catch on each other and can make it tricky to make sure the fridge door is shut. The TV also doesn’t work (no image, only audio), not that this affected our stay.
We got unlucky due to the door so I will not rate this too low. Once it was fixed it was much quieter and therefore easier to sleep, and we liked the apartment a lot more, cannot emphasise the great location!
