    Our assigned apartment was in a building which was about 150 meters away from the main building. The distance would not have mattered if it didn't require climbing about a 100 steps.

    Location - Historic Alfama district.

    I had read in the reviews that the stairs were challenging. As a fit person, I thought folks were being a bit dramatic. I do have to admit they are, in fact, challenging. They are more like a ship ladder than a stairway. Once the luggage is up, it's fine, but if you struggle with stairs, it really is a consideration. The apartment was very small, but I found it cozy and it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It is amazing how functional a tiny apartment can be, when it is well thought out.

    Convenient location with lots of restaurants just steps away and Fado everywhere. Cozy, well appointed apartment.

    A nice little nest in the heart of Lisbon

    Stairs: be aware that these are little walk up 'apartments' and depending on the floor can have quite a few stars. No elevators. Heating/cooling: the vent for this system was obviously/visibly thick with dust. We didn't tell the hotel as we didn't want it cleaned while we were there due to allergies. We simply didn't use it. It's definitely been overlooked for some time. There is no floor space to put a yoga mat and stretch. Something we look for.

    Location. We love the Alfalma area. Facilities: great little kitchen and table area for simple food prep in the same room. Views: lovely to look out to the sea Bed: very comfortable Sound: very quiet Overall quaint

    The apartment was lovely however, the ceilings were quite low and it could get quite warm in the apartment. Thankfully there was AC in the bedroom. Some blinds in the sitting room would be great for privacy, although the windows were tinted so I don't think people could see in.

    The location in alfama was gorgeous and so easy to get to the main centre whilst still being able to enjoy the quieter, historic beauty of alfama. The cleaners came every couple of days to give fresh towels and toilet roll.

    The Apartment is located in the heart of Alfama. It was cozy and comfortable. There was everything needed for our stay. The apartment was clean and warm enough. There is a coffee machine and the host regularly provides additional tea and coffee-capsules. We enjoyed walking on the steep stone streets. The orange trees smelt fantastic in that period of the year.

    Wonderful place! Close to the center and in the historic part of the town. It's a small space with stairs that go up and prepare yourself to go up and down(which we don't mind at all) if you are in good shape you will be fine. Space had everything we needed. The highlight of the space was the balcony. We loved waking up every morning to the beautiful view of the water and watching stars at night. Super clean and bed was so comfortable. Our host met us and showed us around. He was so lovely and kind. It's close to restaurants/cafes/bodegas/pharmacy. Highly recommend when visiting Lisbon. Alfama is full of charm, history and absolutely stunning streets.

    The lack of window coverings in the front room was surprising, given the location of the restaurant across the road.

    The location was great. The apartment had everything that we could want and was spotless with a clean during the five day break.The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom had toiletries.

    The only thing that bothered us was the fact that in the morning a weird fishy smell would come out from the kitchen sink. When we spoke to the receptionist about this they told us its because of the tides of the river. It was not there fault, but it bothered us.

    Kitchen is well equipped, flat is spacious with nice views. Many windows which is great to look at sunset and sunrise. The décor of the flat is nice too! Great location, easy access to main areas.

    The staircase to the apartment was extremely steep, so be very cautious when it's raining (slippery) and with little kids.

    Conveniently located within Alfama, which is a walkable distance from the Santa Apolónia station. Plenty of places to see and dine. The apartment had a great view of the bay.
