Alfama District by be@home

La posizione

Poco accessoriata ambiente male odorante ( odore di fogna) pulizia scarsa

Excellent location within a short walk to pretty much everything, was reasonably priced.

On the 4th floor with no lift, but they made us aware in advance. Quite a bit of construction work nearby that did effect sleep on two nights - not really much they can do about that though.

Location

Cosy apartment in the heart of Lisbon.

I like just the location

I wish I had known what I was getting into before booking this place. First, there was no mention that the apartment was on the 5th floor with no elevator, and the staircase was incredibly steep—a real challenge, especially with luggage. The biggest issue, however, was the horrible sewage smell in the room, which made it very uncomfortable to stay in. No amount of ventilation seemed to help. To make matters worse, for two consecutive nights, someone rang the doorbell in the middle of the night, disturbing our sleep and making us feel unsafe.

We liked the area the apartment was in. It was very easy to walk to the centre. The apartment was spacious and the host was helpful. Having the washing machine was very helpful also.

Unfortunately, the apartment was not clean. There was black mould growing on the toilet lid and kitchen sink, and hairs everywhere. It also smelt really bad of sewage in the bathroom. We had to go out straight away to buy cleaning supplies and give the place a good clean. Then clean the bathroom everyday to minimise the smell coming from the drainage. Outside is noisy late into the night and then the building work starts early in the morning. So we couldn’t get much sleep. Don’t book if you have health issues the five floors of stairs are not easy!

The Apartment was clean and pleasant with good location, really close to the old city center.

Just details, that there was no any washing powder/gel for the washing machine and it was quite loud environment outside for me.
