GuestReady - Classical Portuguese Style Family Apt in Bohomeain Alfama

Welcome!

A stylish apartment located in the heart of Alfama; a neighbourhood popular amongst tourists who to see the beautiful vistas and walk among the many winding cobblestone streets that snake throughout the quarter. It's situated in a well-preserved 19th-century building that features some of the original features such as the tiles, windows and doors, but comes refurbished with new wooden floors and modern amenities needed for a comfortable stay in Lisbon.

Suited for large groups of friends and families, as you step inside, you'll be greeted by the living, which is decorated to be perfect place to relax or entertain yourselves. These include a wrap-around sofa which can be converted into a bed for two, a large flat-screen TV to watch all your favourite shows, and a dining table that accommodates up to four. The windows faces towards the courtyard and allows tons of natural sunlight to fill up the space.

The kitchen is separate and has the original stone-work/masonry being used as the floors and counter space. It comes fully-equipped with all the essentials, including a fridge, sink and stove/oven. An electrical kettle, microwave, coffee machine and toaster are also provided. Guests will also find a dishwasher for added convenience, and a washing machine if they need to freshen up their clothes throughout their stay in my home.

There are four bedrooms in the apartment: 2 bedrooms are equipped with a queen-size bed; 1 one is equipped with a double-bed; 1 is equipped with single bed (and is ideal for children). All bedrooms are equipped with storage to help keep your personal belongings safe and neatly, while all the beds in the apartment are lined in hotel-quality linens to ensure a goodnight's rest. One of the bedrooms is an ensuite with a shower/tub in the bathroom, while the other bathroom shared throughout the apartment only has a shower. Both come with toiletries and hair dryers, while fresh towels are given at no extra cost.

Cleaning and sanitisation will be done before your anticipated arrival.

Enjoy.

The steep streets of Alfama, one of Lisbon’s oldest areas, are lined with shops selling traditional crafts and cafes. Passengers pack the historic no. 28 tram, which winds through Alfama on its way up to 11th-century São Jorge Castle. Views from Miradouro da Graça terrace stretch over the city to the River Tagus. In the evening, melancholy Fado music can be heard in some of the area's long-running restaurants.

Santiago is a charming neighbourhood located in the heart of Lisbon. This district is known for its winding cobblestone streets, picturesque alleyways and stunning architecture. The Castelo de S. Jorge and Santa Justa Lift are two of the most popular attractions in Santiago, while the Lisbon Cathedral, Arco da Rua Augusta and National Pantheon are also well worth a visit. In addition, the Mercado de Santa Clara and Botanical Garden of Lisbon are both worth a visit if you're looking for something to do in the area.

My apartment resides in a quiet residential street lined with historical townhouses which have been converted into apartments

The closest tram stations within walking distance of my home are Limeoira and Miradouro Sta. Luzia, which are both on the same street, Rua Limoeiro.

Issues not related to Unit itself.
The unit was exactly as promised with all amidites. The issue was the construction that started at 8am the first morning of our stay when we were hoping to sleep in. The construction stopped at a reasonable time in the evening but then the person upstairs decided to get their 10,000 steps in for the day with shoes on and did not stop until just after midnight. The second day was heavy stone work construction all day but we went out in the afternoon. The night was quiet thank goodness as we had an early flight back to Canada in the AM.

Old uni friends celebrate 50th in Lisbon
Couldn’t want for a better location. Authentic, characterful, multi-roomed apartment in the heart of the Alfama. Only thing to note which isn’t clear on the listing is that while there are 4 bedrooms, only 3 have independent access. The 4th is a single room only accessible via one of the other double bedrooms- so that wouldn’t work for groups of adults sharing. But a lovely, well-located, v clean apartment. We had a great time.

Great location
A block away from the castle on a relatively quiet street. The amazing location was definitely the highlight of this apartment. Easy check-in process, made our stay in Lisbon very enjoyable. A few doorknobs were missing, but that certainly didn’t cause any problems.

Great location, cleanliness left something to be desired.
I want to start off by saying that the property itself was very beautiful and in a great location. That being said, upon coming in after an entire night spent at the hospital, I initially didn’t care to notice that the beds were unmade, and that the trash in all areas were not picked up. I was recovering from a head injury, so I wasn’t as acutely aware as my friends about the condition of the place until I finally got up a few days later to check out the apartment. That’s when I realized that this place was probably not cleaned prior to our arrival. There were also some floor stains in the kitchen. I got the overall impression that nothing was cleaned from the previous occupants. I messaged the host about this and he did respond promptly and got the place cleaned. I just lament that this all happened on our last day of our stay, so we were potentially sleeping in prior used bed sheets for a few nights. My only hope is that there is quality control next time and they verify that the place is cleaned after the checkout of every guest.

Read this listing very carefully
The place was good - clean and comfortable. The location was fantastic. Do NOT bring a car. You cannot access this place unless you are in a taxi. This was not told to us beforehand. The company takes hours to respond. I was also treated very rudely by their staff when I was asking about car access. She asked if I wanted to cancel (three times!) instead of helping me. We ended up dragging our four large pieces of luggage up a hill on cobblestone streets. They finally responded to my question about parking about 18 hours later. Really poor communication. Made the whole process unpleasant and frustrating. The second bathroom should only be listed as a half bath. The shower is TINY and really not usable unless you are a small child. Overall, not the best experience and I would look elsewhere in the neighborhood if you are driving or need two functional bathrooms.

Great character home
Love the location. Good layout for 4 to 6 people. Lots of dishes. Hot water on demand is nice. Only a couple things to note. If you run the space heaters on high, it will trip the main breaker for the entire unit. The reset switch is in the panel behind the big clock on the living room wall. Press the orange button for at least 3 seconds and you'll be good to go. Even though we rented this on vrbo, the whole process is moved to a third-party website so that was kind of annoying. But worked fine

Schönes Apartment in sehr guter Gegend
Wir waren 5 Arbeitskollegen und Freunde. Das Apartment ist sehr groß und auch bei heißen Temperaturen kühl. Die Lage ist perfekt. Es gibt allerdings einige Sachen die erneuert werden könnten. Eine Türklinke ist locker und fällt runter wenn man die Tür schließen möchte und eine Handtuch Halterung im Bad ist ebenfalls locker. Im kleinen Badezimmer war es auch sehr schwer zu duschen da sonst das ganze Bad unter Wasser stand. Trotz dessen, würden wir jederzeit wieder kommen. Auch die Kommunikation mit der Agentur war sehr freundlich und schnell.
