GuestReady - Casa da Alma in Alfama

Schöne Terrasse, originelle Wohnung, prima Matratze, gute Bettwäsche und Handtücher.

Badezimmer und Küche sind wirklich sehr klein und eng; wir waren darauf vorbereitet und sind zum Glück schlank.

Accomodation is on a good location under the line 28tram. Recommend to all of persons to go to Miradouro instead to go to the river after leaving the suitcases, it is closer and you will have better first impression. Now, the apartment is pretty old furnished. Doors are from early 20th century. Apartment is on a second floor, but the hallway is not more than 80cm wide, it is very tightly. Be careful if you are coming with big suitcase. Toilet is very small, 2sqm in total. When i wash my face whole toilet was wet. We lost electricity for a couple of times, and nobody answers to messages how to fix the problem for more than half an hour, so I solve it by my self, behind the door in bedroom is a electricity switch, so switch it off all and turn it on again it will work. Otherwise, in other situations, they are very quick in their responses. This house, and almost all of it in the street, was accommodation for the support staff (gardeners, housekeepers, cockers etc) for some hacienda or something. When we arrive the boiler was completely empty, and turned of so we need to wait for showering. Bed is very uncomfortable. The apartment doesn’t have a closet so you need to put your wardrobe under the bed in drawer. The apartment was almost super clean, 9.5/10. Sitting on a balcony will be a problem in a future because of the construction work inner side of a courtyard. We were in march 2025. And it was pretty loud and dusty.

The terrace is very nice and comfortable. It's a small cozy apartment. It was very clean. The person who gave us the key was very attentive to our arrival. The guest company was also responsive on whatsapp and very willing to help. There is the Santa Clara Market right on the corner and it is very recommended. I would totally go again.

1. It can be noisy, so you might want to take some earbuds. 2. The location can be a bit far if you want to go to the city center but it is very cheap to use a Bolt service.

The location was perfect, the apartment was well equipped. Patrizia & Roberto gave excellent information to make our stay so enjoyable.

[+] Cleanliness in the apartment. [+] Very good starting point for Lisbon. Realy close to the apartment are 2 attractions: Thieves' Market and the Pantheon. [+] Comfortable bedroom bed. [+] Terrace with dining table - without it the opinion would definitely be much lower. This is the only place where you can feel the space.

[-] Size of the apartment - definitely too small for a family with 2 children, even small ones. The bathroom is microscopic, about 1.5-2m2. In the kitchen, 1 person is a crowd - if someone wants to cook anything there, it's rather a challenge for the persistent. [-] Noise from the street and other apartments until late at night. [-] No air conditioning

Great hosts. Safe and clean. Great location! Nice terrace with lovely view at the tree , old city buildings and , the Pantheon . Very good accommodation for a couple. But be aware that the way to the 3 rd floor is narrow and kitchen and bathroom are small for a plus- size person. No problem for regular person.

It can be noisy during night at the bedroom that has the windows looking to the street. The old city has pros and cons: walking by the narrow streets feels fantastic but during night the noise can become a problem for some people . But the small living room is much quieter. The hosts also have helped communicating to the neighbors about the quiet hours .

Everything was nice and cosy, although smaller than expected.

As a historic building, the walls are pretty thin I guess and we could hear the very loud neighbour from downstairs who was slaming the doors in the middle of the night and talking very loudly.

Great outdoor space. Conveniences such as washing machine, iron, toaster and microwave.

I appreciate that Roberto was pleasant and was quick to respond to a call when necessary. The apartment is in a great location, however there were a number of issues. The bed linen was not clean and fresh. There was a musty smell in the bedroom which seemed to come from the bedding itself. In fact, I ended up sleeping on the fold out bed in the living room instead. The entrance to the property and stairway again were not clean. Strong smell of cigarette smoke. Construction work going on in the floor above which I was not informed about beforehand. Dripping water heater. Was not advised that electricity needs to be reset if too many appliances are on at once. I realise now how important it is to read all the reviews before booking. Please do better for your guests. This apartment could be greatly improved with some small changes.
