This apartment stay exceeded our expectations by a mile!! There were only two of us because someone had to cancel, but the apartment could comfortably hold even 6 adults. Ines and her boyfriend Pedro were extremely friendly! They planned ahead, met us to give us the keys and escorted us (bags and all) to the apartment. The apartment was ADORABLE, clean, spacious, with amazing views of the castle and some of Lisbon! There are fans and space heaters for the varied temperatures. Ines was extremely responsive and helpful - she gave us a long list of recommendations and even helped us locate the right train station for our trip and grocery store nearby! It should be noted for the elderly or disabled, there are about 75 steps outside of the apartment then 25ish more in the apartment building, but it is more than worth it! This apartment made our stay in Lisbon one we will never forget :)

We are long-time friends (2 couples, one from Canada and one from the UK), who met in Lisbon for a long weekend. The apartment was very clean, had all necessary amenities, and was well situated to shops and restaurants...as long as you don't mind stairs as you must do 75 either up or down, no matter which way you want to go, and the apartment itself is on the 3rd floor (more stairs). This was fine with us as we are fit and felt that this would help with all the extra holiday food and drink we were consuming, but it would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Then again, this entire region of old Lisbon is unsuitable for those with mobility concerns as there are steps everywhere once you move away from the flat port area. Ines was very helpful and responsive and even allowed us an extra 2 hours on our departure day since nobody was checking in that day. She was an excellent host. Only one minor issue we encountered is that one of the two bathrooms has a musty smell. It is not due to lack of cleanliness, as it was spotless, so there must be something hidden behind a wall or flooring. It was noticeable but did not detract from our visit. Summary: this is a very nice apartment at a reasonable cost in a great part of Lisbon, as long as you can handle stairs. Cheers!

While there are many steps to get up to the property, you get used to it since Lisbon is a city full of steps so if you don’t like it, I wouldn’t visit Lisbon. The property does not have air conditioning but there are fans in every room and also visiting in the middle of August, the heat was not that bad since it’s so close to the ocean. The kitchen is nice, did not use it that much however. The rooms were nice as were the bathrooms. No complaints here! Me and my family make us 5 people and we enjoyed our time at this property. Inês was a great host who always answered any questions or requests I had without hesitation. If I come back to Lisbon, I would definitely stay at the same location.

Really nice apartment, where you feel part of the most vivid and historic district of Lisbon - Alfame. Stayed there with 3 person, but would easily accomodate 6 persons as well. Ines as host was super nice and communicated easily and swiftly - even organizing replacement for letting us in the apartment when she was not available. also handover of keys was easy and we could checkin early and leave without any hassle early in the morning. Apartment was equipped with everything you need, In walking distance good places for having lunch or shop groceries.

Be prepared to carry your bags up or down stairs. The only access to the alley that the 3rd floor property has is by climbing or descending 75 steps. The descending access was inaccessible due to construction. We had to carry heavy bags up 75 steps to the property, and then up to the 3rd floor. It was 33 degrees Celcius. That was difficult for us. (4 sixty year olds.) The alley has lots of construction going on. The dust and smell of paints and construction materials is strong. There is graffiti every where outside. Un appealing on the outside. After getting in to the apartment, we found it was adequate, but not what we expected. There was no air conditioning, and one of the toilets leaked. We had to mop the floor a few times a day. Apart from that , it was ok.

Overall this was a great place to stay except for one thing... it isn't accessible by car. On either side of the street there are 80 stairs going up or down. This means that if you have a lot of luggage or elderly folks staying with you it won't work out. Otherwise everything is as advertised!! It's quiet and centrally located!

We had a wonderful stay in the apartment. We were 4 adults and a child, and the apartment was just perfect for us! The apartment is well furnished, with modern bathrooms, and plenty of storage in the bedrooms. The kitchen was well equipped for us to make meals several evenings. The location is great! We walked to the cathedral, and to the Sao Jorge castle. The one issue with most of Lisbon is the uphill walking - we had a hard time initially with the steps and the steep incline of the streets. Coming from a suburb in the US, I hardly walk long distances (except for exercise), and it took a couple of days to get used to climbing steps up and down to get to the apartment. But it was a great experience! Our host was out of town, but was very responsive via phone and arranged for a friend to meet us, and get us situated. I would love to return someday - thanks, Ines!

Stayed three nights in July with my (grown-up) family. Had some trouble finding the building due to stange numbering system, but once inside everything was fine. The flat is spacious and well-equipped - though we did not do any cooking there. It is very convenient to many sights - particularly the castle, and within easy walking distance of both Alfama and Biarra. If you drive, parking is a problem - okay to unload but nothing close by for a reasonable price. I used a place at Praca do Chile, which was 7e per day - close to metro, and about 25 mins walk - which worked out fine.
