New comfortable and charming apartment in historic Alfama.

This cosy apartment is located in a quiet, pedestrian street of Alfama. The historic building has been completely rebuilt (2012) and, although the façade has been preserved, the interior is completely new: one spacious living room with kitchenette and river view, one bedroom and one bathroom. The apartment offers all modern facilities and is fully equipped. Free Internet, towels and bed linen are also provided.

Only a few steps away you can take the popular tram 28 that rides the scenic tour of Lisbon hills. Check the miradouros nearby and enjoy the dazzling views: Lisbon’s rooftops, church towers and the Tagus. There are Fado restaurants, cafés and tradicional shops, all in the area.

The area is also well served with public transports (Bus, Taxis, Metro and Train). You can explore the rest of the city and return easily!

During your stay, we will do our best to make you feel our apartment as your Lisbon home.

I think to get a better review the owner should wait for people to come at the condo, give a key, explain and answer the questions.

Perfect location
There was some miscommunication on my end regarding checking in. But João was amazing and made it work in record time. The location is perfect for staying in Alfama. Within walking distance if not only food and markets, but almost every landmark you’d want to see in Lisbon. The bedroom is like a cave and I’ve never slept so well while traveling. If you’re looking for a place to stay in Alfama, look no further.

Perfect.
This apartment is massively undersold; it has to be one of the best places to stay in Lisbon, and incredible value for money. The apartment is clean and modern, the bathroom especially is wonderful. The Alfama streets surrounding the apartment are absolutely beautiful; we stayed here having come from Paris, St. Petersburg, and Rome, and this place was like a combination of all three. We walked almost everyday either into and across the very centre of Lisbon, or to Cais Sodre (where you can get the train to Cascais), and this was no problem; Rossio is barely 15 minutes walk. The people who run the little shops and restaurants (the cafeteria run by the two ladies next to the Alfama Grill is particularly good, they cooked me steak and chips at 11pm to take away) are all run by some of the most welcoming people me and my girlfriend have encountered on holiday. This apartment will exceed your expectations. I am the sort of person who obsesses over selecting the right place to go, the right place to stay etc, and I want everything to be perfect. This apartment was. It is the sort of place that makes you consider making the owners an offer for it! You won't want to leave. Thank you again to the Boavida's for being so welcoming and helpful. Stay here, you have found the right one.

Parfait!
L'appartement est très joli et confortable, et la localisation est tout bonnement parfaite. Au coeur de l'alfama, à proximité immédiate des tramways, bus et même métro. Vue sur le Tage et au calme dans une petite ruelle. Un petit resto à 30m à recommander: TiaHelena (pensez à réserver, possible en ligne par Google); pas cher, délicieux et personnel très aimable). Joao est un hôte de rêve; il nous a parfaitement accueilli avec gentillesse et patience; de plus, il parle très bien français! Nous recommandons absolument cette location!

Always in love with Alfama
Alfama is so enchanting and definitely electric during the evenings of June (read: much late night street noise due to the celebrations of Ste. Anthony). The balcony provided a lovely view of a pedestrian only street and the neighborhood streamers. My teenaged daughters were quite comfortable on the sofa bed as I was in the bedroom. Basic amenities were provided including linens and soaps for body and laundry. The washing machine was necessary for our week long stay as we travel quite light, but we had to get creative with drying as the apartment is not equipped with an clothes line outside the balcony (as is typical in Alfama) or a drying rack. I would suggest to the owner an electric fan or two to move the humid air and to help block out street and apartment noise, a new carpet in the living area (although a nice touch, the current carpet is too dingy to be appealing), and a more thorough check of bed covers - I washed a duvet cover myself as it was visibly dirty. Although not expected, a Nespresso machine and basic pantry items would be lovely touches as well. Those not familiar with Alfama should learn that there are many stairs and hills throughout the neighborhood and that the market is located in Apolonia Station. Planning on returning to Alfama, I would definitely book João’s apartment again.

A great place to experience old Lisbon
Our host was extremely helpful when airline delays caused us to arrive well after midnight. The apartment is located on a quieter passage in an Alfama district made busy by a month long festival, and has a charming view of the old quarter. It is well-equipped, with good public transport options within a few minutes walk at both the top and bottom of the hill. It's a good place to experience life in Lisbon.

Great location, great host!
Our host was great. The Alfama district, where the condo is located, can be confusing, but our host gave us perfect directions to find it. The location of the condo provided a perfect launching point to get to many great restaurants and points of interest. The condo itself was perfect. The bedroom was quiet and dark, so you can catch up on sleep and recharge for the next day. Everything was clean and in good working order. When I return to Lisbon, this will be the place I stay, if available. Chhers!
