    The courtyard could have been beautiful, with lime trees in it, but badly needs cleaning up

    The apartment was shabby chic. In a great area. Location so quaint

    It is on the ground floor, and there were cockroaches. Big ones! Not the fault of the flat owners it’s just something that happens in hot weather places when you live on the ground floor.

    Location was beautiful! You could hear the Fado singers from the house. The second you walked out the old town was right there. Perfect location!

    It was quite cold in the apartment and we couldn’t get the air conditioning unit to work properly to blow warm air out. But there was a small oil heater that worked. it can be quite noisy but that’s because the buildings are historic.

    This is our 2nd time staying here. The issues I mentioned in my last review where fixed. Great location close to lots of restaurants and cafes.

    The place was a bit cold and humid, with noises all around as the garbage bins were right by the bedroom window so local shop owners were unloading tons of empty glass bottles. I was expecting coffee pods or tea bags.

    I loved the style of the furniture and the cleanliness. The shower is very spacious and the kitchen equipment was clean. The staff was helpful and friendly.

    The shower tray was slow to drain the water but that’s just because it’s in a historical building. The door into the courtyard was very difficult to open, we actually thought we were at the wrong apartment but after some jiggling with they key we got in.

    Nice apartment in Old Town Alfama. Great location to stay among the locals with lots of resteraunts and cafes around. Short walk to the waterfront and up to the castle and cathedral.

    All we needed for our stay in Lisbon. The old neighbourhood is extremely charming and alive. No need to take buses or any other transportation as the location is perfect to walk from in any direction of the city. Would come back and stay here, next week if possible 😁

    The neighborhood can be sketchy at night and the apartment is very old and smelly. We tried to contact them but their way of communication was miserable. The sheets had yellow stains on them and we couldn’t stay for more than two nights and had to switch hotels with no refund or anything. It was truly a very horrible experience. Do not think of staying here.

    The location is good but everything else is bad

    It was not worth the money at all.

    The kitchen didn't work for the first 2 days (out of 4) of our stay. We had to fix the issue ourselves by handling the electric board in the flat. The shutters in the main bedroom were broken throughout the whole stay, which prevented the main bedroom from having any natural light. The shutters in the living room were also broken but with the opposite issue, they could not be closed (as can be seen from the loose band on picture). Constructors came to look into these issues but had not fixed them by the time we left. The flat is loud. It's a basement flat and the neighbours load heating gas containers right outside of the bedroom window. Some of our windows did not close properly up till the constructors came. This made the noise even worse. It is a loud neighbourhood throughout the night, sometimes you feel like the noise is coming from inside the flat. The worst part of our stay was that we were locked out of the flat in our last evening there. We had to wait for an hour for the contractors to come and fix it. It was dark and raining, we could not retrieve our waterproof and warm clothes from inside the flat. Honestly we were lucky that this happened at 6pm and not later on in the evening, as it would have left 2 young women on the street with nowhere else to go. In all, it seemed like the flat hadn't been regularly checked previous to our stay. The issues we had would have been avoidable if "FeelsLikeHome" properly reviewed the flats to ensure that they were in satisfactory conditions. We were only there for 3 nights, so having these issues really impacted our time away. We shouldn't have had to put up with all this stuff.

    The flat is located at the heart of Alfama.
