Tastefully decorated, the apartment can comfortably accommodate 4 guests. Please pay attention that the stairs are steep. However, from the ground floor to our apartment (on the 1st floor, as we say in Portugal!) you have to go through only 1 flight of stairs with16 steps and 2 hand rails, one each side. • LCD TV, some 200 national and international cable channels, free wireless internet. • Bedroom with 1 double bed and 1 double sofa bed in the living room.

Alfama is the oldest and most traditional of Lisbon’s neighbourhoods. Its existence can be traced back to the period of Moorish domination from the 8th century onwards. Its name comes from the Arabic Al-hamma, meaning fountains or baths and referring to the numerous water sources that used to exist and feed various fountains. It spreads along the south east slope that descends from the mediaeval São Jorge Castle all the way down to the Tagus River. In just 10 minutes walking from the apartment you are able to find some of the most important tourist sites and monuments that Lisbon has to offer. These include Sé Patriarcal de Lisboa (Lisbon’s Cathedral and oldest church dating back to 1147 and also seat of the Archdiocese), the Monastery of São Vicente de Fora which is a 17th century mannerist styled masterpiece, the National Pantheon (where some of Portugal’s most important historical characters are buried) or the National Fado Museum. Other notable places of interest are Casa dos Bicos (famous for its gothic architecture from the 16th century and Literature Nobel Prize winner José Saramago’s Foundation Headquarters), Praça do Comércio or Terreiro do Paço (the royal residence from the 16th until the 18th century) or the flea market known as Feira da Ladra or 'Thieves' Market'. Alfama is also one of the old neighbourhoods where Fado runs through the blood of its people. As the purest expression of the soul and the feelings of the Portuguese people, Fado can and should be enjoyed in the many restaurants and bars everywhere or simply heard through an open window in a private house. There are several ways to discover the secrets of Alfama. Walking calmly through its picturesque labyrinth of narrow streets and small squares or taking a ride on the famous number 28 tram are two of the most enjoyable. And the breathtaking views from both Santa Luzia and Portas do Sol viewpoints overlooking Lisbon and Tagus river should not be missed. Today, Alfama is a vibrant neighbourhood with its recovered architectural heritage that combines history with a cosmopolitan feel, offering a variety of restaurants, bars and craft shops that will delight those who visit us. Welcome to Alfama.

From our experience, if a property has a good host, the property will be as advertised and the stay enjoyable. Paulo was an excellent host. Prior to our arrival he provided a wealth of information on restaurants, wines and ports, the various neighborhoods and suggestions of things to do. He met us at the airport and upon arrival explained everything about the apartment. During our stay he responded almost instantly to any questions or concerns we had. The apartment was clean, very well equipped with everything we needed, and perfectly located. The neighborhood was safe and had a very pleasant local feel. There are many restaurants and small shops within 100 meters. Though we walked to many locations, a bus stop is a 3-minute walk and the Metro is 8 minutes. In the end we wished we could have stayed longer. We highly recommend it.

I travelled with my three kids, two teenagers and a preteen. We loved the location and could walk everywhere. Kids were safe to go out and explore on their own. Only thing missing for us was a grocery store nearby, although there are small market shops to buy essentials. Paulo is a great host, the airport pick up was really helpful and he showed us the main landmarks on the way to the apartment, which really helped situate us. Paulo was very helpful and responsive, and even gave us tips on what to do when we went to the south coast. The apartment is small, advertised as sleeps 4 but is actually a 2 person unit and I was charged an additional fee for 2 extra people, which is not advertised. Also not advertised is a local municipal tax I had to pay on check in. I recommend Paulo’s place and would stay there again.

Paulo was a great owner, and provided knowledgeable, great suggestions for sites, food, experiences, etc. Alfama neighborhood was lively. If you travel in the summer, be prepared for it to be warm! Also, local summer festivals can make it a bit noisy late into the night. Overall, a great stay. It was everything I expected, plus. Paulo is very attentive to questions and needs.

We spent a full week in Paulo’s apartment. From the beginning and throughout our stay, Paulo was the perfect host with great communication and occasional checking ins. The apartment was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Ideal for the two of us. The location in the Alfama neighborhood of Lisbon is ideal. Restaurants and coffee shops in close proximity. Just a short 5 minute walk is arguably the best viewpoint in Lisbon (Miradouro de Santa Luzia). We found it to be the perfect spot for a refreshing afternoon cocktail while enjoying a spectacular view high above the city and river. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this apartment and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in the Alfama neighborhood of Lisbon. Thank you Paulo!
