Whole flat - two bedrooms - in historic center

Rated on: 03.10.2023 Length of stay: 1 month

We rented the entire two bedroom apartment. Katherine was helpful and upfront about everything. The location is excellent, being adjacent to the old Alfama and on a tram line. The grocery store is only a 15 minute walk, and it has anything you need. A restaurant is on the bottom floor, and you can hear the pleasant sounds of an accoustic guitar in the evening if you open the windows. Everything works correctly, though there were some issues with wifi, but I had a 5G card in my phone, so I used that. You get to hear the sounds of the city, along with all of the other residents. This means that around 6am the trams start moving down the tracks and might wake you up, but it is one of those city sounds that is a real memory. Getting an uber is super easy, and we never had to wait more than a few minutes. Katherine is a great communicator and her English is excellent. The building is old, but this is what it means to live in the old part of the city. But there are no insects/bugs in it like many other old buildings, and it is kept clean. The appliances are not new, the furniture is not new, but we found it to be very serviceable and quaint and would return with no hesitation.

Neighborhood
Old neighborhood with cafes and souvenir shops.

The location was amazing with all the essentials. The weather was perfect when we were there in July, the windows provided a beautiful view. There’s a washing machine. Katherine was extremely responsive when we needed her.

Neighborhood
Busy, touristy, accessible, and a lot going on, but not too loud.

Recommended places nearby
The Roman ruins right next door, the terrace down the block.
