We loved our stay at this lovely little apartment. It is truly very small but also charming and in a great location. Despite the slight confusion with our checkin (which was resolved very quickly and amicably), we recommend this place highly. You’ll love it here! ##### Robert B.

Jul 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay This “tiny gem” was just that! It was a great location with Alfama, very close to everything. So nice. First floor entry at the end of the street so it was quiet and peaceful. As advertised, it was small; however, there were no surprises. A perfect spot for two in an adventure. Shops, coffee houses, restaurants, Fado performances and many of the major attractions within the Alfama district were within walking distance from this location. We did cook some awesome Portuguese sausages on the small but clearly usable stove. The refrigerator kept our much needed water cold. Also, it was very close to a luggage storage facility that let us land in the morning, stow our luggage so we could hit the town sans luggage in tow until time to check in. Speaking of check in, it was super easy! ##### Brent E. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Marta D. May 15, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location The location was amazing in the heart of history and the legend of Portuguese 'Fado' folk music, anyone with a love for social anthropology especially musically orientated will love it.The apartment is small with no real windows except for a small opening on the top of the door and a little kitchen window that opens only a sliver from the top, saying though it did not bother me as being a bit of a bear I like my caves ;-)Everything I needed was there.My only critique is that the sofa could do with either a replacement or a good cover as it has some unsightly marks on it (probably caused by an eating accident by a former renter.)Apart from this, I cannot fault it and believe that this is an excellent location for a single traveller or even a couple.Another good plus is that it is only a 5-minute walk from the seafront and a 10-minute walk to the metro/train/bus services. ##### Marta D. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jaime Oct 31, 2025 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our overall experience was below expectations. Communication was OK, clear, and attentive. Both owners were kind and sympathetic, and we appreciated their helpful attitude. Cleaning was not completed at the scheduled time, was done superficially and we had to wait outside in the rain. We appreciated being allowed to leave our luggage before check-in. The glass shower door was unstable and felt unsafe. Only two very small pieces of soap were provided for two guests over three nights. The bathroom soap dispenser was broken and Shampoo was not provided. Only one shower towel was for both guests. The shower floor did not drain properly.There was no exterior lighting, so we needed to use our phone flashlights at night. Only one proper wine glass available along with three plastic ones. The espresso machine was dirty and showed spots, possibly from humidity or mold. The sofa was dirty and could benefit from a professional cleaning. The dining table was more of a small shelf attached to the wall and wasn’t very stable. The TV remote control was unreliable. Location is good, but guests arriving by car should note restricted residential area, which can be inconvenient when carrying luggage. Conclusion:Among all the accommodations we stayed in during our four-week trip to Portugal, this was the least satisfactory and, regrettably, the most expensive.The apartment itself would benefit from some attention to cleaning, maintenance, and basic amenities. ##### Jaime Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Catherine M.
