The location is close to everything, but wonderfully quiet at night. The apartment is bright and has everything needed. The host is very accommodating. Thank you for a great stay!
The location was great, the apartment was clean and the host was amazing. The only issue was that we could hear everything that was going on in the apartment upstairs, as if there was no sound proofing. There was a lot of noises during the night or early in the morning, so we did not sleep well at all during our stay.
Four of us stayed for 4 nights. Plenty of space and privacy, excellent facilities, including toiletries and laundry tablets.
We loved the location of the property, opposite St George Castle entrance. Great to people-watch from the two large balcony windows.
Easy communication with host who organised transfers for us to/from airport.
Beautiful area, well supplied and clean. Furnishings need updating: beds were not the most comfortable, but were sleepable; shower fixture was a little low and mount was broken.
We enjoyed our stay in this very livable space - kitchen, laundry, multiple spaces for spreading out and relaxing. The location is good for exploring. It's bit noisy at night with local peacocks (who live at the castle next door) and humans - making bird sounds and rolling out recycling. Overall happy with the stay!
Our recent stay was a mixed experience. The location is excellentâright below the entrance to the castle, which made it very convenient for sightseeing. However, this also meant it was quite noisy, especially throughout the day and evening.The apartment itself was generally comfortable and nicely kept, but a few more amenities would have made the stay more relaxing. A coffee table and a more spacious or cozy seating area wouldâve been appreciatedâafter a long day of walking, there wasnât really a good place to put your feet up and unwind.The beds were comfortable, which we appreciated, but there were a few issues with the bedding. There were no top sheets provided, and the duvets or comforters seemed in need of a fresh cleaning.Overall, it was a decent stay in a great location, but with a few small improvements, it could be much better.
Situated right beside Castle St. Jorge is perfect location in the Alfama district. Clean, bright and spacious enough for 4 people. Great communication with our host, Mario. Surprisingly quiet given the foot traffic through the streets. Very comfortable stay.
The location was great, and we were greeted at the door when we arrived (later than planned due to plane delays). The apartment was perfect for my family (myself,husband, 15 month old and my mom). Highly recommend!
Nice and bright apartment in old house and on historical place (in front of a castle).
Attracting old town area in Alfama. Many things to do and see on walk distance.
Place is also good for walking in hilly and stony streets.
We had a good time in Lisbon and the appartment was good! Unfortunatly, our trip in Lisbon was in the same time than WYD and the visit of the Pope. But for the stay, everthing was fine. Thanks!
We stayed four different places during our trip to Portugal and all were lovely, but this was our favorite. The apartment is literally right next to the castle and it's lively there during the day, but quiets right down after the castle closes. We were able to comfortably walk to every area of historic Lisbon. The hosts were excellent about communication and went out of their way to let us store our bags there when our plane arrived well before check-in time. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to make our own simple meals. The market is also a short walk away. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Lisbon.
It was very good. There are 17 internal stairs as advertised and the front door doesn't open properly because it's too close to the first stairs.
Suggest notching the first stairs maybe?
Anyway the apartment was lovely. The main pictured bedroom was very bright and had two doors opening onto a small Juliette balcony which then looked down onto the entrance to the castle.
It was fun to watch people and at night listen to music being played. The mattress was quite firm but not uncomfortable.
The second room is smaller but has a window which let in plenty of light.
The bathroom was fine and the kitchen was well equipped, not that we ate in much.
The apartment is easily within walking distance of the city sights.
Rui was very good at explaining things and he supplied a map to a few things in relation to the apartment. If you're going to need the grocery store then double check how to find it before the host leaves because we got lost and then found it tucked under another building and accessed both by stairs and a lift.
All in all the apartment was excellent.
