Guest Reviews

• Angela (10/5): - We loved the location and the view from the room was fantastic. - it’s actually a spot all the tourists come to watch the sunset and sunrise! So can be a bit noisy. Bed really comfortable, could do with some new pillows! Kitchen well equipped and functional. Uber dropped us off at top of the street and we later found a lift that took you straight to the property so you don’t have to lug your bags up or down the stairs. Communication with Miku was good.
• Brittney (6/5): - The pictures made this property look nicer than it was. It wasn't terrible, but the AC unit made strange noises all night that woke me up consistently. The bathroom smelled like something was rotting or moldy. There was hand soap in the shower - no shampoo/body wash. The wood on the countertops was beat up. There were cleaning supplies & trash stuffed in the cabinets that were shown for use as a closet. I could not store my things in them. Communication with the host was very strange. They told me I owed them twice the amount of taxes that was required for my stay. I pointed out the error and asked for clarification. They took a day or so to respond, then told me I was correct about the amount of taxes I had to pay. They asked me to put the cash in the lock box in the middle of the day. I had already left the apartment to explore other cities for the day & wasn't going to be back to put the money in the box until that night. They got very rude & demanding with me when the money wasn't in the box the same day. I explained that I was away from the apartment & assured I would of course pay the tax. I ended up sending them the money via Revolut (European Zelle). They became friendly again. When I was preparing to check out, I messaged them multiple times for check out instructions. They ignored me. So I just cleaned up, locked up, and left the key in the lockbox where I found it. Great location, amazing views, safe. Not a bad stay... but I wouldn't book it again!
• Tatiana (7/5): Book if you are ready to sacrifise some comfort for the sake of the view and location - The apartment is very well located and has a fantastic view on the sunrise. It was enough space for a family with two kids. The place is somewhat damp. If you come during good weather it won't be an issue but during rainy and cold days you will not be very comfortable.
• Lukáš (2/5): The space is unsuitable for living and probably also dangerous for health. - The view is nice and the location is also good. We do not recommend this accommodation! Roof is leaking, there is a tarpaulin on the roof, so the owner knows it well. The bathroom smells terribly of sewage, condensation drips from the skylight directly onto the bed, the whole space smells of damp, there is mold in several places. We heated the whole time with air conditioning, but it is only in the loft, so on the main floor it was not more than 18 degrees, because there is no other heating. After we return, everything smells musty and we have to take our suitcases to the dry cleaners.
• Jaclyn (1/5): Bad - The place smelled like mildew upon arrival, but it got worse. The loft ceiling had a leak and was dripping on the bed. The bathroom room was also flooded. The internet had a terrible connection and my friend needed it to complete an assignment for university. We had to stay there our first night because we had nowhere else to go, but then we left and found other accommodations. The hosts refused to refund us for the other nights. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone.
• Fiona (10/5): A really cute and scenic accommodation in the heart of Alfama! - Owner was very accommodating and informative! Sent us extensive information about getting around Lisbon. Also, the views are unbeatable in this wonderful part of Alfama.
• LIYING (6/5): Great view in the okd town, but… - the loft apartment is centrally located in the old town, which is 3 mins walk from st luzia and the miradourna sol. The view from the room is great from both the dining place and loft bed. however, i guess its the issue for all apartments in the old town, ceiling is quite low and area is quite small. and seems like many business around the old town are setting up small businesses and bars on the already quite narrow road. can be quite noisy sometimes. and i also see quite a few insects and ants in the bed inside the apartment which is not great.
• PINATEL (10/5): Séjour Lisbonne en famille - Un très bel appartement, très bien situé dans le quartier de l'Alfama et à proximité des transports. Belle vue sur le quartier et sur le Tage. Prestations de qualité, logement très propre et bien équipé.
• Monica (10/5): Great views, Great location! - This was a really cool location in the old part of Lisbon, not far from St George’s castle- we spent a whole day just walking to and from the castle, including several hours their exploring and taking in the magnificent view. There is also a great view from the windows of the apartment, and there was even a little welcome beverage when we arrived. One thing to be aware of is that there are 70 steps going down from the street, and then about another 25 going up a narrow windy staircase to get up to the apartment! We managed okay (all three of us in our 60’s and carrying a big backpack and carry-on bags filled with recently purchased Portuguese pottery!) The bedding for both beds was extremely comfortable! Overall, a great place.
• Anonymous (1/5): rude mangment- not accommodating - alfama neighborhood is great we left because there were so many steps we couldn’t get down to the apartment and when we walked down to the apartment without our bags the apartment entrance was really small and the steps were very small/circular and we had a lot of bags there was no way we would’ve been able to manage.
• Pedro (10/5): - Beautiful view. Good apartment
• Li (1/5): Terrible ! Ruined my trip!! The host was unfriendly at all! - The location itself is good but the noise was really loud- you can hear tourist's chatting in the alley word by word clearly The host made us wait in the wind 15mins to give us the code of keybox and deliberately ignored our inquiry about the heating in the room. it was extremely cold in the room. I and my friend both ended up of having fever and running noises. We had to walk 18 mins to buy batteries in the night.
• Anu (10/5): A hidden treasure - a compact apartment with beautiful views & amazing location - This small apartment is in a beautiful location in the middle of the touristic small streets with lots of local small restaurants close by, and it offers amazing views to the river and boats. It is compact but we were four adults and fit in here well. I would certainly stay again!
• Jeff (1/5): a complete expensive disaster as we were forced to find a hotel on short notice in the rain - i didn't like one single thing about the check in , location, or property owners. The pictures on line are fake and check in was not available. I got the impression they rented it to numerous parties to cash in. The location is very hard to find, check in is not possible, the stairs to the property are dangerous, no parking anywhere near, bad communication, foul odor, loud construction down the hall.
• Nicoleta (8/5): Fun and relaxed apartment - better in the summer - In the middle of Alfama with a beautiful view, you can see the sun rising from the sea as you lay in bed Hosts were very helpful and provided a nice guide for places to eat that we really enjoyed The biggest problem of this apt is the sliding bathroom door and the lack of privacy one will have once in there. The apartment gets cold very quickly - we went there at the end of november. The selling point for us was the skylight window which to our disapointment was taped and unable to see through.
• Polina (9/5): Totally worth it - Cozy and nice apartment. Clean and thoroughly designed. The owners were nice and always in touch, despite the fact, that we didn't even meet in person. They sent me very detailed instructions (even with video), how to reach the house. It was easy to follow. And of course - the view is spectacular. Probably the best you can have in Lisbon, including the special view points. Nothing. However you should keep in mind, that the house is really old and it has really strict rules about noise (the note about it is the first thing you see at the apartment's door). But we haven't any problems with that.
• Michael (10/5): - Besonders gefallen hat und die Lage mitten in der Altstadt Alfama und die phantastische Kommunikation mit den Vermietern - wir haben sogar ein Video als Wegbeschreibung vor Ankunft erhalten.
• Paul (10/5): - Un endroit parfait au delà de nos attentes Je recommande cette endroit vous allez adoré
• Susanne (10/5): - A really super appartment,very good location,stunning views and equipped with everything you need. We would definitely choose to stay here again.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - A gorgeous apartment in the streets of Alfama with the best views from your window. The hosts are very accomodating and established excellent communication. I rated it 4 because the power went off in the apartment at midnight, although the hosts communicated efficiently how to make it work again, and the AC broke down too (maybe just a bad day for the aprtment). I would love to stay here again.
• Laurent (10/5): Très belle destination à l'Alfama Studio! - Vous apprécierez le calme, le confort et la vue grandiose sur le Tage dans ce quartier typique de Lisbonne.
• Thais (10/5): Loft Alfama - Ficamos num loft em Alfama bem confortável e aconchegante. Tudo funcionando bem, ar condicionado, TV e chuveiro com ducha quente. Vista linda!! Bem localizado. O ruim é o acesso pois na rua não passa carro e tem uma longa escadaria. Complicado para quem tem dificuldades de locomoção e muitas malas pesadas. Fomos na época da festa da sardinha. Bem animado! Locatários atenciosos nos adicionando num grupo de Whatsapp para nos dar assistência .
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Charming flat with lovely view. Location a bit awkward. Diffucult to find. Difficult access, taxi cant get there. Definitely not for suitcases. It was a kind gesture to leave a small bittle of wine but would have been great if some basics like shower gel and soap were avallable. Orherwise great.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great location with lovely views, very welcoming! - Fantastic location with lovely views, great for walking around, close to line 28 tram! (Although, it is likely too overwhelmed with tourists in peak season to be enjoyable.) Well-equipped complete kitchen. Very friendly welcome and check-in experience (thank you for the welcome bottle of Flor do Campo!). I enjoyed sleeping in the upstairs loft area because of the skylight and view even though it was small.
• Rosemary (10/5): Muito bom - Lugar muito bem localizado, o proprietário nos deu atenção pelo WhatsApp... Ficamos muito bem instalados. Torneiras tanto da cozinha como do banheiro quentes, chuveiro também bem quentinho... Fez muita diferença. Gostei... Mercado, restaurante, lanches pertinho...
• Aki (8/5): Nice apartment in an authentic atmosphere - If you want to stay in the center of the oldest part of the Lisbon, Alfama, this is a perfect choice. Tram stop 28 near. Apartment is small but cosy and has beds for 4 people. The apartment is clean and nice and has a great view to an old town. Very nice and welcoming check-in with the personnel. Only negative things: the stairs to an apartment are very steep and the taxi cannot drive to the house door because of the stairs and narrow streets in Alfama. But otherwise highly recommended.
• Micheline (8/5): Appartement très agréable et bien situé. - Très bon séjour à Lisbonne. Beaucoup de charme et d' ambiances pittoresques dans les différents quartiers.
