Nice location in Alfama close to several attractions. Lot’s of space for a couple and even for a family. The weak electric capacity was something we did not know when doing the reservation. When checking in we were informed about the limited use of electric devices at the same time. For instance we couldn’t use the both heaters which were available.

Stairs

Apartment was very good however the stairs to the door of the apartment are very steep and tricky. As a senior it was difficult to maneuver up and down especially with luggage.

Good Location

Carlota met us at the apartment and they were accommodating in allowing us to check in a little early. The location is great, but not close to the train, so we took Uber mostly to get around. As other reviewers noted, there are a set of very steep stairs to get to the apartment, so it was challenging for my parents to go up and down the stairs. There was a strong smell coming from the bathroom, which seems to be common in these old building. Also in these old buildings there is no air conditioner. Otherwise, the apartment was clean and we had a good stay.

Apartment was nice, no complaints! Just a word of caution to those who cannot do stairs, there are many!! However, it is not strictly the apartment, Lisbon in general has many ups & downs and stairs, so if you are physically challenged this may not be the right pace for you.

Nice place but mind the stairs

The flat is good in all respect. The website info should point out the state of the flight of stairs. They are very steep and not in good condition. We could not get the tv working. Found good fado and flamenco music on radio instead
