Alfama Petit Studio

The location is good. Standard utensils available.

The location smelled of sewage both outside and inside the property. It is also extremely damp even with the de-humidifier on, don't think there is an extractor fan in the toilet.

The location

The smell coming out from the shower's drain

This apartment was in a great location. Right in the heart of the oldest neighborhood in Lisbon; next to a lot of great restaurants and many beautiful small shops. I appreciate how active the person in charge of the apartment was in responding to our messages. They let us check in early, which was very kind as we arrived a few hours ahead of the original check in time. They were quick to provide a fan and air fresheners.

I would not recommend this for anyone with mobility issue, as you will have to go up and down stairs to reach the studio. I would also agree with the previous comments. There is little to no air circulation in the studio, which would have made it impossible to stay if not for the fan and a cracked window (could not imagine what it would have been like in the summer). The AC unit is not connected correctly, so it was blowing hot air back into the apartment. There was also an intense sewer smell coming from the bathroom, that could also be smelled when you approached the front door of the studio. It was honestly quite gross and became worse when you took a shower because of the humidity. If the issues that I stated can be fixed, I think it would be great place to stay. Until then, I think that you will need to be a flexible and very easy going type of person to want to stay for an extended period of time.
