My young adult son and I recently stayed at Ellie’s delightful flat, located on one of Alfama’s secretive laneways a ten-minute walk from Santa Apolónia Station. We can’t rate it highly enough. This was our first visit to Lisbon and we arrived by train from Évora. Ellie’s directions were impeccable and she met us at a cafe close to the flat, took us upstairs (the flat occupies the third floor of a narrow, four-storey building with stair access) and explained everything we needed to know. She also suggested non-touristy places for dinner and exploration, including the nearby Saturday market, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Her communication with us from the moment of booking was outstanding; it gave us peace of mind ahead of check-in. The flat is cosy, spotlessly clean and well-appointed, with pleasant streetscape views and easy access to nearby cafes and supermarkets. I slept in the main room and my son on the double fold-out couch, which he says was very comfortable. The kitchen has a washing machine; there are lines on which to hang your washing outside the kitchen window, European-style; it was raining when we did our load so we popped into the laundromat a few doors down to dry it. We did a lot of walking, but the property is easily accessible to the train, trams and bus. I would recommend Ellie’s place to anyone keen on an authentic local experience - and I plan to head straight back there should I have the pleasure of visiting Lisbon again.

Amazing location and lovely host!!
My friend and I stayed in Lisbon for the first time and this apartment is the ideal location! It is very walkable with many restaurants around and close to the city. Metro and buses are also an easy walk away from the apartment. Ellie was an amazing host with great communication and the check in process was very easy. She was also very helpful with letting us know things about transportation and the city of Lisbon. Would highly recommend staying here!

Great Alfama Location
Located on the second floor of an old Alfama building, this is a great location to experience a real Portuguese neighbourhood. It is also close to the rail/bus/tram routes which makes it a great base to explore. Ellie was a great host and we loved staying there. Thanks for everything!

wonderful place to stay
Ellie is an extremely gracious host and did her best to be flexible to accommodate me. Slight mix-up at check in because I didn't get data in timely fashion (carrier's issue). Very accurate description of the location and hilly nature - if you are fit, is quite easy to navigate to use subway system.

Only young people should stay here
Beds were not comfortable, no closets to put away clothes, stairs were dangerous, this apartment is more suitable to only 1 or 2 young people. Hot water was very finicky . No couch or place to sit as the futon was made into a bed. Great location and host was in communique as she lives in the same apartment complex. Neighborhood was noisy.

Great location as a base to explore Lisbon.
Nice tidy suite in the heart of one of Lisbon’s oldest nieghbourhoods. Close to the excellent Lisbon Metro as well as regional trains. Ellie was a gracious and very helpful host who always had time to answer our questions, and with advice and direction on places we wanted to visit. Highly recommended. This is a hilly neighbourhood and we definitely managed to get our exercise during our stay.

Excellent correspondence and mixed experiences
Works well: Location: near Tram and bus stop and the port in the heart of Alfama. The church De Fora is a good landmark for pickup and drop off. Communication: Ellie is very responsive and helpful with what to do, how's and pre booking correspondence. Adequate space with a renovated bathroom and general supplies. Works not as well: Hard to locate address: It's hard to find and access. Cars cannot take you straight there. Steep narrow stairs 2 flights up with luggage can be challenging. Heat: visit during the heat wave. Warm despite the fans. Left windows open, but noises from below got intense like an echo chamber even with ear plugs. When windows can be closed, it's better. On demand water heater. For people unfamiliar with it, water temperature was hard to control.

Great location. Loved Old Lisbon.
Location was perfect. Walkable distance from everything in Old Lisbon. Ellie was very thorough and informative and was easy to communicate with. The apartment is very cute, simple, and “old”, on the second floor, be sure you can walk up and down stairs. The trolleys came in handy to check out other areas and Uber is fast, easy, and inexpensive to/from almost everywhere. Highly recommended.

Comfortable coziness
The apartment in the heart of the Alfama allowed us to enjoy our stay since it provided easy access to a variety of sites in the old town (even if getting to some of them reminded us what it was like to have to climb hills when we were fit!) With a small grocery about ten steps from the apartment, we were able to get breakfast essentials and snack items. Nearby shops featuring arts and crafts meant that getting our purchases back to the apartment for packing safely were also a plus. Also, Ellie and her staff gave us excellent restaurant suggestions that gave you good chances to further appreciate Portuguese cuisine. Finally, Ellie and her staff were very available to provide helpful answers to our questions before we arrived.

Hilly Alfama
nothing fancy but as stated in ad. Although stated area "hilly," was not prepared for degree of climb. But in this part of the city it seems you climb hills in all directions. We are in our mid 70,s but we navigate and walked a lot without major problems. I would not recommend any wheeled suitcases, as the cobble stone streets will destroy the wheels. If we travel to Lisbon again we would probably stay in a different part (Flat) of the city if possible. But with that said, trolley, restaurants, and sites were all within walking distance. Overall the place was a good bargin

Cute apartment in an older building. We were there during a hot spell and a/c would have been nice as the fans could not cool down the bedroom. Perhaps not for the infirm as the two flghts of stairs are quite steep. Alfama is a wonderful area with many attractions. Uber is fast and plentiful. All in all, we had a pleasant experience.

Small but Inviting
We loved the location. Ellie met us down the road from the apartment, where the taxi dropped us off for check-in. The apartment had everything we needed and more. We used the small market, that is just steps away, the first night for some basics. We ate at several of the small outdoor restaurants in the neighborhood. Yes, the stairs are narrow and delicate because of their age but this is a treasure we will always remember. We would love to stay again.

The host was very good at constant communication and letting us in early. It was very clean and she had thought of everything. For being in a great location it was very reasonable. The stairs to the apartment were very steep so travel light. It was quiet at night but with a few nice bars nearby especially Vossa Lisboa up the street.

Quaint and Comfortable
The apartment is in an old building in the Alfama district, close to Santa Apolonia Station, and Ellie met us in the street nearby to take us to it. It is light and airy, with three good size windows overlooking a small Placa. It is very comfortable, with a good size well-equipped kitchen and modern bathroom. Two small mini-markets are very close by. Ellie is a great communicator and took time to show us around the apartment and point out some of the important aspects. We had a great time staying there and can highly reconmment it.

This Alfama apartment was perfect for us. It was short distance to Graça which is one of the highest neighborhoods in Lisbon and good spot for historic no. 28 tram. We love the steep streets of Alfama, little restaurants and cafes and views. The apartment was clean and ready for us. Old building with steep stairs is not for everyone but worked great for us!
