Bolt Hole in Alfama

This apartment is in a great position for access to the Castle and the City. The surrounding restaurants were all great and we loved the local feel to the area. The apartment is up a steep flight of stairs and was more compact than expected. There were four of us and we managed but there is no comfortable relaxing space for four.

This apartment is a beautiful little apartment to use as a home base in Lisbon.

This apartment is very well located - we enjoyed the ambience of the area- we got to walk the alleyways and discover the unique beauty of the area. Lots of places to eat, drink and enjoy the vista of the waterway below. Two important trams go through this area at the bottom of the street, the 28 and the 12.

This apartment provided everything that my mom and I needed while we toured the Lisbon area. It was an excellent location for the tram, bus, and train; and within walking distance to so much.

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.

First time in Lisbon

We greatly enjoyed our stay. The apartment had the two bedrooms promised, although the second one was stuffy with no outside light and no ventilation except leaving the door open. We didn't really understand about recycling as the bins at the bottom of the street seemed to mix everything together and it wasn't clear where to put organic materials. It would have helped to have a container for organic materials. We didn't do any cooking but appreciated having some coffee already there. A suggestion: tell guests that they can take the 12 or 28 tram from the Martin Moniz metro station instead of walking uphill.

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.

Great location!

Loved location in Lisbon. Lots of restaurants and ground transportation available. Challenges are 21 narrow steps up to apartment and very slick shower. Also bed 2 hard. This is more for education than anything. Overall really enjoyed this stay.

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.

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.
