Xavier - Alfama Apartment River View

Average

Very small beds, for two quite little space

Ideal location, in the city centre, near to the railway station, super view on the ocean. Convenient entrance with self check in system, you can check in whenever you arrive, even late night.

Excellent location, cute compact apartment with everything needed for a comfortable stay, immaculately clean, host was communicative and helpful. Stairs to 4th floor unit were very steep and narrow (think attic stairs) and neighbours were very easy to hear, but that didn’t detract from the charm.

Steep stairs, especially the last flight, it should have a hand rail! Also 1 bottle of water could have been left for our use.

Great location by the train/underground station. The accommodation was clean and very quiet, considering being in Lisbon centre. The supermarket nearby was also handy. Nice view on the river.

Sofa bed was a bit hard.

I liked the stay enough to stay twice in one trip. The check-in process is very easy, it's remote and all the instructions are sent to you through booking, but you have the option to also contact Victor through Whatsapp for convenience. The neighborhood is nice and quiet while being very close to all the attractions and is located next to many stores, pharmacies and restaurants the best of which for me was Alfama Cellar. The apartment itself is small and cozy, and has everything you may need - teapot, stove (did not use), microwave, dishes, basic spices, oils vinegar, sugar and a coffee pot. It also has an AC/heater so you can keep warm/stay cool which is regulated by a remote. The bed was comfortable for me and there was also a small area for storage. The water was hot, the wifi worked well.

I enjoyed my stay and managed to deal with everything fine, but for other travelers I'll mention that: - the sofa is not going to be comfortable for sleeping - the bathroom sink doesn't drain super well, gotta be a bit careful - the shower drains fine if you use the shower at half its power which is still strong - if you're drying clothes, do it outside of the bathroom or it will take forever - the steps are steep and may be hard with a large suitcase, for me and my backpack they were fine, but be aware

The location is a street back from the waterfront in Lisbons old Alfama area; it couldn't be better. The building looks wild from outside; and the walk up the stairs, Wow! Place is first class!

Honestly, not much was wrong. Bed slept well, no noise, superb views, barrio behind is wonderful. Nice local restaurants along front street, interior decor tasteful. This couple is organized!
