Photos and Description of the Alfama vacation apartment rental
Apartment, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths, (Sleeps 6-9)

This wonderful flat is located on the 3rd floor of a building from the 18th century, at Alfama one of the oldest parts of Lisbon.

It is decorated with a mixture of modern and ancient, and it is full of sunlight that you can enjoy from inside or relaxing in one of the 2 terraces, wile having a glance of the river, or seing the cats sleeping on the roofs of the medieval neighborhood.

This apartment is at Alfama, the medieval Moorish neighborhood where an emerging cosmopolitanism mixes with the “natives” day-to-day life. It is a village in the heart of the city, due to the fact that most of Alfama’s residents have lived here their entire lives and retain a strong sense of community.

The apartment has 110 square meters, and it has been recently renovated to include the following:

- Two bedrooms with double beds (140 cm wide), one of them with access to one of the terraces.

- One bedroom with two bunk beds.

- A living room with sofa with satellite TV and Hi-Fi and access to one of the terraces.

- A small room with a double sofa bed and a window opened to the kitchen.

- A complete kitchen with electric oven and stove, microwave, fridge with freezer compartment, washing machine and also dish washer; The window between the kitchen and the room has a table with place to sit eight persons.

- A complete bathroom with bathtub.

- A shower.

- Two terraces with a beautiful view over Lisbon's roofs and river Tejo.

Best place I have been staing. About 25 min walk to the center. Taxi is about 3,5€ to the center. Beach is not so near about 30 min walk and 40 min in train. Really good for friends having a good time. But I think it's even better for couples and families. Good restaurants right at the downstairs. No clubs nearby, so you can sleep your nights in peace. Also there is a small grocery store, about 5 min walk, almost on the other side of the fado museum.

We enjoyed our stay in alfama. Leave the windows open at night at
night and you can hear the Fado restaurants on the streets below.
Apartment was clean and spacious. Note that it is 60 steps up from the street
(I counted) good exercise. We easily walked into Chaido and Barrio alto, and the appalonia train station.

I have never been out of the United States and one thing I like about staying in the apartment was the location. It was great to look out the window and observe city life in Portugal. The apartment was comfortable and we had plenty of room. The washer and dryer was a wonderful additive. The gentleman who checked up in nice and asked what we were there for and interested in. He mentioned several sites as well as added a few we didn't know. The apartment was clean and I loved looking out the many windows.

Living in alfama for some days gave us a taste of the real Lisbon. With the sights , railroadstations and shopping just an inspiring 20 minutes walk or taxitrip away the location is excellent. Thxs also to TTL staff which helped us with the small things that came up faster than using the concierce on a hotel. Family of 4 , Oslo Norway

Great location in the centre of alfama. But the taxi was not able to take us to the door because the streets are too narrow. We then got lost in the maze of little streets, although the apartment was very close to where we were dropped off at the Fado Museum. (Get directions from the Fado Museum to the door from TravellingtoLisbon)

The welcome was very good, with a lot of detail given about places we might be interested in visiting. The apartment was very pleasant, with a lovely balcony off one of the bedrooms where we took breakfast. The big problem for us: there are no windows that open to the outside in 2 of the 3 bedrooms - a problem if you like to sleep with the window open. Otherwise it was great.

We stayed in apartment for a weekend in June 2011. The agent who greeted us was both punctual and helpful. The location was excellent. The apartment was well maintained and very spacious for five people. One minor issue was the leak that seeped out when showering in the main bathroom. This was a minor complaint to an otherwise pleasant weekend. We met a lovely cat christened "acid” for his ph scale sensitivity who we all wanted to take home because of his wise head and wry smile. Thanks

The apartment was very easy to find and direct from the airport.
Mario was very helpful in helping us with the check in and provided us with some useful tips.
The apartment was a good size for our group (three of us travelled to Lisbon) and we all had a room each.
Only down side was the bathroom shower protector was not good and the water went everywhere. The rooms were also very hot at night and could benefit from a/C or a fan.

But overall a good vlaue flat for a short visit to Lisbon.

The appartment was very nice with a splendid view over alfama. The guy who met us in the appartment was very nice and gave us the needed information.
The narrow streets were full of small grosseries, restaurants and people. The portugues are nice and friendly people. I will defently visit Portugal again.

The dobble bed in the small room was not so good and the curtain was a very dusty.
