Authentic Portuguese Experience

We greatly enjoyed this flat. It was easy to feel enveloped in the Portuguese culture due to the neat and authentic accommodations that are located near plenty of Portuguese shops and tourism. The hosts’ communication was excellent and they answered all our questions graciously and promptly. This stay was a great find and we would gladly book 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 ****

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.

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.

The place was clean and extremely well located in the old historic town. As it is in the old town, the apartment was dated with steep staircase, small kitchen and living room area and tiny bathroom. More than sufficient for 2 people but the main living space is cramped for any more. There was no air conditioning and fans were ok for the October weather. Host communication was excellent and we appreciated the recommendations for location eateries.

Thank you Carolina for all your advice and for meeting us at the apartment.I think it would be helpful to tell folks its a serious climbto the apartment and once inside the building. We enjoyed the museums but found the restaurants in the area lacking.Bar a breakfast spot....Quase Cafe...which was very good.Thank you and all the best.

The apartment is ideally located close to many great attractions with a few hidden gems to eat at. Everything is in easy walking distance. The building itself gives you an excellent vibe of old vintage Lisbon. It was a comfortable and clean apartment. The steps up are very steep, but manageable. The property manager at check in was great as well as the owner when we had to communicate with them. Very pleasant and accommodating. Overall it was a nice place to spend a week for our vacation.

Very good stay all round

Cosy, nicely decorated. Well equipped (e.g. dishwasher, washing machine). Quiet location, but still very close to the sights of Alfama. Be aware of the steep stairs from street level up to apartment itself.

Lage top, in Summe gut

Süße Wohnung, ausgestattet mit allem, was nötig ist. Manko: Das Kinderzimmer ist nicht für zwei Jugendliche geeignet. Ein Teenager ist auf die Coach gegangen zum Schlafen. Das wiederum war sehr eng, um sich nachts in den Bad/WC-Bereich zu bewegen. Daher würde ich sagen, die Wohnung ist für eine Familie mit einem Jugendlichen geeignet oder zwei Kinder bis max. 10 Jahren. Ansonsten war es ein sehr schöner Städtetripp!

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.
