Alfama Patio Apartments

very nice apartment in beautiful part of lisbon, close to many sights and Restaurants

Was a bit problematic with check in as the Code was different than we got. though everything else is great

The location was great. Near to bars and restaurants.

The bed was so uncomfortable it kept us awake at night. The shower needed redecorating and deep cleaning as it just looked grubby. No clothes hanging space

The apartment is in a central position (Alfama), perfect if you want to visit Lisboa on foot. We didn't have access to the balcony, but I didn't mind. The kitchen and the bed were nice, quite comfortable and nicely decorated. Everything worked and there were enough pots and pans if you want to cook your own food. The owner was helpful and polite.

The bathroom is extremely small. The sink is so tiny, that when you washes you hands, the water splashes everywhere. The smell!! When we arrived we noticed that there was a foul smell coming from the shower. We tried cleaning it, using a deodorant...nothing worked. In the end we had to cover the shower drainage with a plastic bag. That worked and the smell went away.

They supplied towels and soap

1. We confirmed our check in at 10am due to our early flight however when we arrived circa 10.30, we found that the cleaner had not yet been and we could not get in contact with the apartment manager. 2. We spent well over an hour trying to get the key to the apartment just to drop our bags off but everytime we called in to the number they provided to me, we were told we should call someone else and given and alternative until we made a full circle. 3. We finally got into the apartment circa 12pm to find the property what appeared to be half cleaned. As we later found a cockroach. 4. we tried to rectify this the evening of which we got there however we did not get a reply or response from them until almost three days later in which we were leaving within 12 hours. 5. This response offered to re clean the flat within the next few hours however as we were out for the day we told them we would not like them to go into the apartment as we had our belongings and valuables in there and left out, (the safe didn’t work) however I got a response a few hours after telling them this saying they had already been. 6. overall this stay was far more stressful and was not what it described to be on booking.com.
