Cosy place in a very nice neighbourhood. Tons of local restaurants, cafes and bars around the apartment. Be sure to eat at the bakery Alfama Doce in the morning!
Honestly, exploring Lisbon couldn’t have been easier being based in Alfama. Walking distance to the center (Praça do Comércio) and you’re not far from the train and metro stations either.
The flat itself is cute and everything was clean. Only minor thing I would say is that the place is smaller, darker and more basic than we expected. Also, the walls and windows are very thin, so what’s happening inside and around the building can be heard (barking dogs and construction works, but neither can be helped by Maciel and Fabiola). Still completely fine if you’re out and about exploring like we were. Just be aware that the streets can be noisy at night and that it is not recommended for people who want to sleep in.
The check-in process for the apartment was quite easy as well. The hosts’ friend Joana (who met us) was friendly despite the lack of communication on our arrival. All in all, we had a great stay :)
