CarLota was very helpful! She greeted us and showed us everything we needed to know about the apartment. She also provided lots of great information about the area and things we may want to do while we were there. She encouraged us to text her at anytime for assistance. The location was perfect for us. The cute little apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. We would stay there again.

Lovely little apartment in heart of Lisbon

The apartment was perfectly placed for our week of exploring the city, surrounded by interesting landmarks, and good restaurants. The apartment itself had everything we needed for a comfortable stay for my husband baby daughter and I. Great communication and friendly service from the owners who also organised us an airport transfer and Luis our contact who met us on arrival. We had a lovely stay would highly recommend ****

Great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment is very well situated to enjoy the old city and it’s many attractions. It is located in a busy, but traffic-controlled, area which limits the street noise to pedestrian traffic. Plenty of restaurants, bakeries and food vendors close by and the apartment is well equipped for preparing light meals. The host and local contact were very punctual and helpful in providing information getting us settled. We would gladly stay here again.

Lovely little place!

Great location! Super cute. We were greeted right when we got out of the bolt and was able to check in 2 hours early. Provided a through orientation to apartment,restaurant, and city. Our only suggestion is it was hot and so a fan for each room would be wonderful! Definately stay here!

Excellent quiet, convenient location

Access via very steep stairs which were not well lit. Space was fine for two people but would be cramped for four. Certainly seating for four would not be comfortable. Good supply of hot water for showers.

Enjoyed the apartment

The apartment was nice and clean. At that point of our journey, we were glad to have access to a washing machine. Just a note, it took 2 days for our clothes to dry in the apartment. We did not hang them outside. That is not a complaint, just an observation. Another observation is the stairs were difficult for us to climb. On the plus side, the apartment was in a good location for what we wanted to do. As noted before, it was nice, clean, and spacious. Overall, we were pleased with everything.

Authentic Lisbon

My friend and I loved this little place. Tucked behind the road, we escaped the street noise, but it was still bright. It's on the second floor, up some antique stairs. We were fine, but not for everyone. The bedrooms were spacious enough, and although not huge, the living space was certainly all we needed. Great value for the price. A well equipped kitchen, linens, closet space etc... The overall location was fabulous. We could walk a few feet and be at half a dozen restaurants. The old town is the place to be.

Alfama

The apartment met our expectations and was right in the heart of Alfama. However, we found the area itself difficult to navigate even using Google Maps. Be sure to plan your days in advance with lots of time to make it to your planned destinations! Isobel, acting for the owners, made a point of meeting us to let us in earlier than the dsignated check in which was wondeful. She was very responsive to any questions we had. Thank you!

Beautiful stay in Lisboa

We spend a beautiful extended weekend in this flat. We were 3 adultes and one child. The location is very good, Alfama is not only a tourist place but a lively area. The atmosphere at night is charming. The flat is nicely furbished, there are all needed cookware. The flat is quiet during nights. Photos of the flat match what you will have when you will rent the place. Antonio and Fabiola are very helpfull and kind. They offered to pick up us for à good price, at the airport even if we had a late Arrival. They took the time to explain everything, gave us some recommandations and were very attentive to our questions. They have been very kind with our son too. Obrigado Fabiola and Antonio.

Right in the middle of things

Great location in the old part of the city. Easy walk to many sites such as Rossio Square train station, hop on hop off bus, tons of restaurants. Quiet at night for sleeping except for garbage pickup in the middle of the night every night that we were there. Beds were comfortable. They provided a nice binder with much info about the city and the apartment which was helpful. Waited 45 minutes to check in because Carlotta had three checkins at the same time - not her fault. The building is very very old and unit very very small. Stairs up are very steep and narrow - we are in our seventies and managed by exercising a lot of caution. Half-sized fridge, tiny bathroom with rusty shelves, shower floor is slippery so should have a rubber mat on the floor, kitchen small but everything functional for breakfast only, otherwise we ate out. Carlotta was extremely prompt and helpful when we had questions.
