Alfama Studio @ Lisbon's Historical Heart

The apartment next door is under construction so it’s messy and noisy. This was not communicated to us. The kitchen in this place is lovely, but the bath is a bit grubby and it’s a stuffy apartment with no air conditioning and a fan that is useless. It’ll be hot there in July! The person who greeted us was neither pleasant nor helpful. Finally I’ve asked twice now about when I will receive a refund on the security deposit and have not received a response. On the good side, the beds were comfy and the location was great.

Stayed here for five nights whilst visiting Lisbon. Up a hill, narrow steep staircase to flat. Nice view of port, very convenient for Santa Apolonia stn and the supermarket at the station. Lots of eateries nearby (found a place RC Restaurant on the hill from the stn to the flat very reasonable at 6 euros a meal). Only little quibbles, no mattress protector on the bed, just a sheet on the bed. Also we had to make do with the same towels for five days! and if youre tall the bathroom shower may be a little awkward to use. Well equipped kitchen. No TV???

This modern styled studio was one private bedroom but it was way more than that! To start off, it had water views from the balcony of the bedroom. It also had a sofa bed, a small circle dining table, a well-sized kitchen with a washing machine, small fridge, stove, and plenty of kitchen equipment. They also provided me with two portable AC units to use as needed, iron and extra towels. The company sent a host to meet me in person and greet me with the keys, show me around apartment and give me recommendations. The Alfama neighborhood was great to walk around and the walk to the center and all the other action in the city was totally doable. I would highly recommend this apartment to people traveling solo and/or couples. Just two small heads-up notes: 1) there is no elevator and have to use small/steep stairs to get up to apartment but it was in the first floor so not too bad, 2) the bathroom is the smallest thing in the studio with low ceiling as you enter
