Welcome to Alcântara Apartment

Pretty close to the bus stop and train station. Near to the Belem region, and you can take bus to there, too

None

Lovely apartment, lovely host, thank you for the great communication!

Safe and good location

Property very narrow

The apartment is located in a nice area called Alcantara, there are a few cool bars and the city centre is walking distance. The host was very responsive and nice, when we messaged her about hte issues in the apartment, and though she wasn't able to fix the issues, she offered to cover the tourist tax for us as a compensation.

The apartment is simply not worth the money. We paid close to 500 euros for 5 nights for 2 people. First of all, there was no way to pick up the keys autonomously: the host had to meet us and since we arrived late in the day, they asked us to pay 30 euros for late check in. Thankfully, we had friends in Lisbon who picked up the keys for us. As soon as we walked into the building, a very annoying sound of parrots started to echo across the building -- turned out neighbours kept their birds on the common staircase. When I complained about this to the owner, she said "It’s a typical neighborhood with typical neighbors. You can find other more prime locations but the prices are very different, much higher." Moreover, the whole apartment reeked of stale water and sewage, so much on some nights it was difficult to sleep. It also hadn't been cleaned very well before our arrival, especially the bathroom (see photos). And the cherry on top: on our last two nights we found two huge cockroaches in the building, one downstairs and the other just. in front of the apartment door. If you are looking for a relaxed vacation in Lisbon, I do not recommend this place.
