Duplex fado Alfama apartment

The comfortable Duplex apartment with 2 bedroom it's on the 2nd floor, inserted in building of the medieval district of Alfama.
The fabulous Duplex Fado Alfama apartment concept design based in Fado musical genre and Lisbon typical urban furniture will welcome you for a pleasant stay.
The apartment has a living room, 2 bedrooms kitchen fully equipped and a bathroom.
Please watch this advertising: Alfama is the oldest district in Lisbon, since constructed. The housing areas are not so large and to get most area possible in an apartment, the stairs steps from the building are quite tight and high. The apartment is on the 2nd floor and it is not for disabled people.

Your apartment is in a fantastic location. We had no difficulty getting around steps were a little challenging, but we knew that the security of the lock once we figured out left open right lock was great would definitely stay again. Thank you for being so responsive And helpful

The Alfama experience
The small back alleys of Alfama confused the enemy back in the day but fortunately the modern smartphone has an app for that! The apartment is great but checked luggage loaders beware…the staircase is steeeep, especially after the first landing. My family accepted the carry on luggage only challenge this trip, so for us it was easy enough getting our bags up there👍 The apartment has everything you need and more and is well located to enjoy the local restaurants, coffee shops and sights. We really enjoyed our stay at Bruno’s Alfama flat and can highly recommend it 👍

The unit was beautiful, and Bruno, the owner was very accommodating. The unit was clean well stocked and had all the amenities that we needed in the kitchen and the bathrooms. I would not hesitate to recommend this property and would love to stay there again in the near future. Five stars!

Disappointing Old Town Unit
We booked this unit for 5 nights and we’re so disappointed in the unit we didn’t say. The unit says it was heated but was totally inadequate and was 10 degrees at best. Unit is tired and stairs are ridiculous steep and down right dangerous. Was extremely disappointed with Bruno, didn’t meet us at the unit and never responded to us when we messaged to say we weren’t going to stay because of lack of heat. Beware, lots of other options, keep looking.

Amazing location!
Bruno’s apartment is spacious, adorable and extremely well equipped. The kitchen was great, the beds comfortable and everything was clean. I loved the old town area but was a little put off when the Uber couldn’t go to the door. After being there you understand but it was awkward at first, trying to find tge right place. I would 100% return and would highly recommend

Comfortable apartment in great location
Apartment can comfortably accommodate 4 adults but they must be able to navigate a couple flights of very steep steps to get to third floor. Missing some conveniences - shampoo, laundry soap. Also communication was somewhat challenging.

Nice apartment for the physically fit
The apartment is clean and bright and surprisingly quiet. Kitchen and bathroom are nicely renovated and clean. The location is interesting but it is a little bit isolated from the rest of the city. Requires some walking to get to metro stops, etc. Bedrooms are on upper level, bathroom is on the lower level. Some tips for nearby restaurants left in the apartment would be appreciated. As many reviewers mentioned, those stairs are formidable.

Alfama during June festivals.
We were expecting, but surprised at the steepness and narrowness of the staircase leading to 2nd floor. We managed, but elder travelers or those with large luggage should not stay here. We loved the quant Alfama neighborhood and getting loss through the narrow alleys and staircases. We were pleasantly surprised at the 1 month Saint Festivals occuring in the alleys. Music may have been loud and late at night, but WoW we loved it. Very close walk to Apolonia metro/train station, Jorge castle, and everything in the city center. If you like action, culture, tradition, great food, great sangria, bifanas, ginja, etc.... this is your spot.

Great Central location. Very active nightlife! We were glad that Bruno brought our suitcases up the narrow flight of stairs to get into the apartment. Overall a very comfortable stay... Would stay here again if I find myself in Lisbon.

Good experience in Alfama
Really liked our choice in the Alfama - the apt had everything we could have wanted. I was especially happy with the dressers in both rooms, as well as other ample closet space. This is almost always a problem for me as I haven’t yet mastered the art of packing light. (75 years of age). The steep steps in this place (and my husband’s reaction) ay have cured me though! Was so impressed with Bruno’s quick responses to my messages, always was there!

Immerse yourself in old Lisboa!
Highly recommend. If you want narrow cobblestone pedestrian streets, small shopkeepers chatting all day, a historic area....this place delivers. You will be greeted by a small metal doorway which immediately sends you up two flights of very narrow/steep stairs (if you cannot carry your luggage up narrow stairs and/or have balance issues...this place probably isn't the best fit). Conveniently located to main town, St. George Castle, and most of the sights. Many restaurants located within a 1-2 minute walk and wonderful to open the windows in the mid-evenings to listen to Fado music echoing down the walls of the street. During the day, some locals use the doorstep as a place to hang out while they talk to the storeowners (who usually are sitting in chairs outside their stores...these stores, etc. are literally right out the front door), so plan on opening your metal door to the street and surprising someone who is sitting right outside it. While at night I would have expected the street to be noisy with revellers/tourists...not the case...we slept well here. Felt very safe in this neighborhood whether day or night.

It was incredible...
We stayed with two ladies in this apartment and it was amazing. It would be not problem to be there with 3 to 4 persons. It is perfectly located in old Alfama district and you can reach everything very easily. The apartment was very clean, is well equipped and with a lovely interior. Bruno was a great host. He is very responsive and very helpful. We definitely recommend this.

excellent location!
The apt was very clean and orderly. Bruno greeted us shortly after arrival. If you'd like to stay where the locals are and get a safe, comfortable feel for Alfama and Lisbon, this is the place for you! You won't regret it! Yes, the stairs were very steep as mentioned in previous reviews, but they aren't that bad. It's worth the location.

Very. I’ve place and well located. Close to most of the good areas. The only downside was the stairs to go to the apartment, very narrow and inclined. I will not recommend it for kids or someone with special needs. Bruno was very responsive.

Beautifully Maintained and Magical location!
My cousin and I had such a wonderful stay at Bruno's. He initially met me at the apartment to leave the keys and give me a quick tour of the apartment to make sure I knew where everything was and how to work everything. The apartment is fully equipped for cooking, however we found ourselves out and about throughout our stay so we did not use it. The beds and space is very comfortable. He had additional duvets in case of temperature drops. There are windows throughout the apartment which allow a lot of natural lighting and fresh air through the apartment. The bathroom is stunning and equipped with a hair dryer and towels, which I took advantage of both. The apartment is accessed with keys and is very secure as there is an outdoor entrance that heads into the staircase and then the apartment is on the second floor where the entrance to the apartment is, both need separate keys for access. The only ONLY thing I agree with a previous review on, is the staircase from the ground level to the apartment, it is quite a steep staircase with small steps so it was interesting getting our suitcases up the stairs. BUT! It is WELL WORTH it! One time going up and then one time when you leave is not bad. You will love this apartment and it's wonderful character located in between the cobblestone roads of Alfama full of markets, restaurants and shops. 12/10 recommended!

Appartement typique dans le coeur du quartier Alfama
Belle expérience dans le quartier Alfama, proche du coeur de la ville de Lisbonne. Le seul inconvénient était le stationnement de l’auto et de transporter nos valises jusqu’à l’appartement mais je pense que c’est la norme dans cette ville! Beaucoup de services et restaurants dans le quartier, près de la gare aussi. Très proche de l’eau. Appartement très propre et facile de communiquer avec le propriétaire.
