Beautiful area, nice host!
It was really nice and comfortable. The only downside is that it is that it is up 37 steps so more like on the third floor. Pack light!

Clean comfortable apartment near many amenities
The apartment was clean and well stocked especially the kitchen. The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms could do with updating - particularly one of the showers. The balcony is inward facing so doesn't have a view. It's a bit noisy as it's near a police department but is near a metro station, Rossio square and a short walk to Alfama restaurants.

Our property manager was very attentive to our needs. She promptly answered our questions and even arranged a van to the train station for us. The apartment was spacious for 5 adults and very clean. We were about a 20 minute walk from the waterfront with numerous outdoor cafes including a beer museum.

Clean and convenient
The apartment was very clean. The location is convenient. It is a couple of blocks up from a cute area with lots of good restaurants. It is not in a tourist area. It has a good feel of a real neighborhood. There is a small market right below the unit. It has everything you could need with fresh produce, toiletries, and other food. Nice people work there. The neighbors in the building are quiet. There is a really cute dog upstairs. There is street noise depending on how quiet you are used to for sleeping. I wore earplugs and it was fine. There are mechanical outdoor shutters that make the rooms pitch dark. That was super nice. I didn’t have to wear my eye mask to sleep. The listing photos are old. Need updates. The second shower was tiny my out standards, but could be fine for kids or people that are used to the size. For North Americans, the 2nd floor is one flight is steps up. Remember that in Portugal and other places in Europe, the 2nd floor is 2 flights of steps up because the first floor is actually considered the ground floor. What they consider the first floor is actually the second floor for us. That was very confusing when we were checking in the first day. I am out of practice from traveling since the pandemic so I had forgotten this piece of info. We come from Los Angeles so Lisboa felt very small and accessible. The Bolt app was a convenient way to get around really cheaply instead of taking public transportation. The tap water is safe to drink here.

Beautiful Lisbon Stay
We loved this apartment. It is very spacious, clean and comfortable. Maria was a gracious hostess who gave us a great welcome to Lisbon and was very accommodating. The apartment is in a very central location. Yes, two of the bathrooms are very small but we had no problem with them. Four of us stayed very comfortably here and we hosted 8 people for dinner.

Nice - Easy to get places
The place was clean and comfortable. The owners were very kind and willing to let us have an after hours check-in. They quickly answered any questions we had. The bus stop was close and it was only a couple blocks to walk to businesses. I would stay here again.

Family of 6 stayed at this property for 1 week. Overall our experience was awesome. We loved that it was far enough from the crowds but close enough to walk to the city center without any issue. Communication to get in the property was great, the notebook with suggestions was great! I would highly recommend trying some of the dining suggestions in the notebook. Like most reviewers have noted there are 2 showers and 2 bathrooms. The second shower is very small and probably best suited for children and smaller people (even though I did take 2 showers in it and I'm 6' 2" tall). Technically it is a 2 bedroom, but there are 2 extra sleeping sofas. One in the living room and another adjacent to the living room. The one that is adjacent can be corded off with a sliding door which technically makes it a third bedroom. Having 2 bathrooms are a plus, but one of the bathroom doors does not close correctly (not an issue for us but might be for you). The area is quieter than the city center (but it is still a big city so expect big city noises). Across the street there is a local eatery (Copelia) which is always busy with locals and was a god send for our family! (we ate breakfast there 3 times! and lunch once!). There is a washing machine and drying racks in the property, there is also a laundry mat downstairs if you need to dry your clothes and do not want to wait for mother nature. Loved Lisbon! and the propery met the needs of a family of 6 comfortably!

The red door
The red door opened to our apt in Lisbon. We welcomed the sight of it after a long day walking up and down and up and down!! Though it was on the 2nd floor, those steps weren’t much compared to the city of Lisbon. We welcomed a place to sit and relax together with our friend and yet have the privacy of our own bedrooms. The washing machine was extremely welcomed and let us not take so many clothes with. While the second shower is very small, we just shared the larger shower between us and then could each otherwise have our own bathrooms. The air conditioner in main sections was lovely, and to cool off the bedrooms we opened the windows in the evening and then could shut if needed to sleep. The shutters kept noise down and light out. I really appreciated that we were shown where everything was, not in a hurried manner and there was a book left with instructions on everything. There also were some supplies for the dishwasher, washing machine, and other items in the pantry as well. Coffee shop a couple doors away and stores for food close by, if just milk or so, nearly next door. Close to tram 28 to catch a ride early one morning without long lines. Oh yes, nice hot, hot water for showers!

A great space. Spacious, clean and equipped with plenty. We didn't need it too much, but worth noting that A/C is only in the main living/kitchen/convertible bedroom. The apt is in great location, just past the busier areas so it is pretty quiet but just a block and a half away to the more populated spots. The walk-up is not too bad, but because its its only a floor up, you do get some street noise if you leave windows open (would only be an issue if you wanted cooler air while sleeping) The patio is a great feature and one really does feel at home in the space. You might here some noise from the upstairs unit but nothing too obtrusive. Having a little market next door was also super convenient. We felt right at home and would absolutely stay again!

Our stay was delightful. The apartment was comfortable for the three of us. The hostess prepared a wonderful book containing information about the apartment and tour guidance we used each day. The very next door to the apartment contains a well stocked small grocery that served as a “pantry”. If we needed any item of food, wine, or paper goods I simply went there as it is open 0800-2400 daily. The presence of a dishwasher and washing machine made our domestic chores fast and convenient. Most important of all was the cheerful nature of our hostess. Susanna’s place is definitely at the top of our list. (Did I mention a bus #760 comes by every 20 minutes to take you down the hill to the subway entrance, trolley stop, as well as other buses?)

We loved this place, it’s well appointed, was clean and tidy, had lots of amenities. The only drawback was there is only 1 air conditioning unit in the apartment which doesn't reach the bedrooms very well since it’s located in the living room. I would recommend this place.

Near Alfama
The location was great - close to nice little neighborhood market, good restaurants, Moniz metro stop, and Alfama District. Area was extremely quite, which was great for a good night's sleep. Apartment was a four out of five - beautifully re-done and with A/C in the livingroom/kitchen area. But...my husband wished there was more storage place; the outdoor seating area doesn't exactly look like the picture, and the apartment overlooks an overgrown courtyard that needs a good clean-up.

We had a great stay in Lisbon. It was nice to be out the super touristy area but close enough to walk or take public transit to everything we wanted to do. The cafe on the corner, Copelia, was the best part of our Lisbon stay. The apartment was comfortable, clean and it was nice to have air-conditioning in the summer months.

Across the street was a cafe with delicious croissants and other baked goods and delicious coffee.Two doors down was a great little grocery store with everything we needed, friendly owners, and the best oranges I’ve ever eaten.

Small apartment in the heart of Lisbon
Disclaimer: this review is being written from the perspective of a US citizen who lives in the suburbs. The apartment is a 5 minute walk from the Martim Moniz metro station. This area is culturally very diverse. There are several grocery stores, mini marts and laundromats within walking distance (all about 1-10 min walk). Check-in was flawless. Susanna/Maria were very friendly and easy to work with. Our party of 4 adults found the apartment to be a little snug for our liking. There are two functioning toilets in the apartment which we found helpful. The listing says there are two showers but the second shower is incredibly narrow and very small. We deemed the second shower unusable. (However we found it useful to dry our clothes and hold our wet umbrellas). The full size bed in the main room and twin size beds in the second room appeared to be well worn IKEA beds. They squeaked loudly when turning over during sleep. From previous reviews we were prepared for the loud street noise at night. There is a hospital close to the apartment so it wasn’t uncommon or hear sirens at night. The kitchen has limited cooking utensils so if you’re hoping to cook a meal “at home” you may have to improvise. However there were plenty of plates/ glassware / silverware. I could recommend this apartment for a small group (4 or less people) who don’t mind sharing close quarters in the culturally diverse neighborhood of Martim Moniz.

Hi Lu Ann Thanks for your review. In fact fo Lisboa and all Europeu, this is City centre, with multiculture, we don't have a Chinatown or anything similar. As you see out apartament is 5 minutes walking from downtown. I agree with the 2nd shower that is very small as I told you are the check in. Thanks for your stay Best

Lisbon in late August
We were a group of 4 so there was plenty of room inside. with comfy furnishings and all the amenities we could need, including dishwasher, washing machine, toaster and filter coffee maker. The outside balcony was sheltered really useful. You are located right next to the metro and major bus / tram routes so navigating the city is easy. Load of restaurtant and coffee shops in 5 mins walk. (try the oriental food centre when you want a change from Biffanas) There are a couple of supermarkets in 5 mins walk, I liked the Continente good selection of food and beer + excellent bakery products. The appartment is on a road thats a bit busier than expected, light sleepers might want to take ear plugs, though we have no problems. Great appartment in a great location. thanks for a lovely holiday.

Great communication with owner throughout including advice on getting to apartment and organising a late check in. Apartment was beautiful, spacious and very clean. It had everything you needed for your stay and we loved the outdoor space. It was in a quiet location with a great little local shop next door but only a short walk to Lisbon centre.

A Pleasant Surprise
Susanna has a very spacious three floor walk up apartment with a modern kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. There is also a large eating table and sufficient living room space. A well stock Mercado food market was next door which came in handy. The apartment is within walking distance of a train station. My one suggestion is to provide a much needed book with directions for the TV and a list of local attractions. My cousin and I had a wonderful week at this apartment exploring the beauty and history of Lisboa. Nancy and Fran, USA

Very nice
We were a party of 4 adults. The owner was quite helpful by arranging transport to and from the airport. The apt was clean and bright and the beds comfortable. The property was nice and roomy enough except we didn't care too much for the second bathroom was actually split in two with the sink and toilet in a very small space and the shower separate and was not big enough to actually shower in, we all had to use the one shower in the other bathroom. Only air conditioner was in the main area with the bedrooms at the other end of the hall so they got quite hot at night and with the windows open for a breeze there was a lot of traffic noise when trying to sleep so had to keep the window closed. The location is quite close to the tourist area to walk to but there were a lot of wholesale shops in the area of the apt and the restaurants close to the apt closed too early for us so we would eat before heading back each day. The little grocery store next to the property was a god send and the people running it are fantastic. They were so friendly and helpful, a real plus. If you do the hop on hop off bus pay the extra for the more expensive one, we took the cheaper one and were quite disappointed.

Stylish, good location and reasonable price
The group of 7 (lincluding myself) were overall pleased with the accomodation we received. The location is minutes away from the metro, which makes travelling Lisbon very easy, whilst the surrounding area had plenty of things to do/see. The apartment itself was charming and was mainly functional. However, unfortunately the time we had there the wifi was down- huge inconvenience for teens. The landlord was very responsive and helpful in everything asked of her, and was very kind to us during our stay. Would reccommend staying here for anyone looking for a stylish apartment to accommodate a medium sized group with good access to all areas of this fascinating capital city.

Lovely apartment with great views over Alfama and out towards the sea.
A business colleague and I enjoyed an excellent short stay. Apartment was well appointed and comfortable with decent sized bedrooms. Views were superb and it is located in a really charming part of Alfama with great access to bars, restaurants, shops etc. Would certainly visit again and thanks to the proprietors who were very accommodating at short notice.

Lawaai boven en verouderde badkamer
We hadden geluk blijkbaar dat er geen huurders ware´ de eerste 3 dagen. Erna plots wel, er is geen betonnen vloer, dus elke stap hoor je alsof iemand in jouw appartement loopt... tot 0h30... De badkamer is echt verouderd, en het terras stemt niet overeen met de foto, de stoelen zijn verouderd, roest aan de stoelen... we hebben er geen gebruik van gemaakt... Een positieve noot is dat het een heel ruim appartement is, vlakbij het centrum. In de keuken is alles aanwezig. De laatste dag mochten we de bagage iets langer daar laten zodat we nog rustig in de stad konden gaan eten voor de vlucht terug.
