Loved it. The pictures were like the property. The location was great with many souvenir shops and fado restaurants within walking distance. The view on the deck was great.
The check-in process was smooth with lots of great information. The apartment was spotless and the terrace was definitely the highlight for us. The lounge area looked a little bigger in the pictures but was quite adequate. The third bedroom is windowless as mentioned in the description but being there in May, when it was not too hot, did work. Being an older apartment it does suffer a little with plumbing issues so keeping doors closed helped. This is a great apartment for exploring Alfama and the rest of Lisbon. We were happy with our stay.
Great location, super property, perfect for catching up with friends. The house has everything you need for a city break and is right in the heart of the old town in Alfama. Supermarket and restaurants on your doorstep. I would advise using the airport taxi rather than uber from the airport as the uber taxi can't drop you at the door and the streets are steep and cobbled and full of holes so my friend had trouble getting there with her luggage. The plus side of course is that uber is cheaper. She paid 11 euros, we paid 21 euros in the airport taxi. Highly recomend this property and this area of Lisbon.
There is nothing more beautiful than seeing the sunrise and sunset on one’s terrace. We had a front row seat to that EVERY day! Our apartment was on a lively street. We became neighbors with shopkeepers, cafe owners and the local mercado clerks. The famous # 28 tram was close by, but learned from the locals it was better to take the Red tram rather than the yellow one. The train station was at bottom of hill and we took it to several cities outside Lisbon. The prices were reasonable and the adventures were wonderful.
Our hosts were OUTSTANDING! I have used VRBO for many stays across the world, and I will tell you that they are the Best!
A friend that was staying with us for a week of the three we were there, asked if we would ever go back and the answer is definitely YES! YES! YES!
Thank you for introducing us to such a beautiful city!

I absolutely loved the location of this property. Alfama is one of the older neighborhoods in Lisbon and is packed with life, lots of little shops, restaurants & bars wedged into little nooks & crannies up and down its narrow streets. There are a lot of hills, so be prepared for the occasional steep climb. But totally worth it, IMO.
The apartment itself was very nice, with three bedrooms and two baths with showers. Kitchen was bigger than others I've seen and also includes a washer for laundry. The front of the property offers two bedrooms a street view, while the living room in the back opens to a sizeable patio overlooking the water and narrow streets below. Truly a stunning view and worth the price of admission alone. The AC unit worked very well at keeping the space cool with the weather hot outside.
Hosts were very communicative and helpful in getting us into the property a bit early and provided some valuable info on sites to see in & around Lisbon and transportation options (hop on tram 28 at some point!). Keycodes provided made getting in and out a snap.
Overall, I loved Lisbon and the Alfama neighborhood in particular. Would rent this property again in a heartbeat.
A very authentic experience in a historic neighborhood.
Great communication, very clean, very attentive management. This place has a lot of old world charm and I would believe it if someone told me it was built in the late 1700's. :-) The very old hardwood floors are beautiful. The outdoor sitting space is gorgeous with an incredible river view. The decor is near perfect and the furniture is wonderful.
you'll find a ton of quaint restaurants and shops within steps of the front door.
Some realities: Two bedrooms are on the street side which is very noisy at night. There is a lot of traffic and loud people leaving the until well after midnight. A community garbage pick up point is right outside the front door and under two bedrooms. When they pick up at night, the sound is deafening.
One of the bedrooms has zero windows and the ceiling fan did not work for us.
While the river view was amazing, every day of our stay we had one or more gigantic cruise ships just outside on the river docks. The photos of the listing are old and dont' show the facilities but there are large loading/unloading ramps and elevated walkways to handle the cruise passenger traffic.
That being said, my family enjoyed our stay.
Very nice little flat in a awesome location. We had an amazing time in Lisbon and part of it was the location of our flat. Close to everything.Paula was a great host.
Good location for the Alfalma district. Enjoyed the outdoor space provided by the terrace. Photos make rooms look bigger than they are. Carlos was excellent in his check-in.
Amazing location in the historic Alfama neighborhood with a fantastic balcony. The entire flat was great and charming, but the balcony really elevated our vacation. This was our first time to Lisbon, and I'm happy we chose to stay in Alfama, and even happier we found this apartment. Check-in and check out was easy (keyless), and our host provided numerous dining recommendations - all great.
Nestled in a safe neighbor, we had an amazing stay filled with great food, cozy cafes, and wonderful, kind people. The view of the Tagus River is unsurpassed. We will definitely book here again.
Great location! Great view to enjoy in the evenings.
Very seamless check in & check out procedures.
Everything you need to enjoy your stay.
Great restaurants, shops close by.
This was the best VRBO I have stayed in. The apartment was stunning, and the location was perfect. The apartment was very airy and restful after a day of sightseeing. Loved Porto. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful.
We absolutely loved our stay at this apartment, it was very comfortable and quite spacious by European standards. The view was spectacular and the neighborhood had many shops, bars and restaurants. We found ourselves ending the day near “home” before retreating to the terrace for a relaxing glass of wine while soaking up the ambiance. Would definitely stay here again

We have stayed in this unit for both of our trips to Lisbon. 2021 and 2022. Absolutely LOVE the location and the patio. We had some pretty severe stench in the unit due to the toilet releasing a sewage type odor. Maintenance did try to repair but it didn't help much. The TV was not working, which is fine because we don't spend much time watching TV in this beautiful city, but it should be operational. A unit as potentially beautiful as this, could definitely use some updating and renovation.
Still love it. Thanks for reaching out
What a fantastic vacation! In early June, My sister-in-law, two nieces, and I had the pleasure of staying at Paula's place in the Alfama area of Lisbon. I was traveling from Singapore and arrived later than the others who came from the U.S., so they met Carlos for the check-in. They said he was great! He shared lots of tips that came in handy during our stay. The apartment was perfect for our needs. It overlooks a quaint street lined with excellent restaurants and bars, which can be quite loud as the night progresses, but the windows are equipped with additional closures that reduce the noise significantly. I preferred to fall asleep to the sounds of people partying and having fun right below my window.
The balcony at the rear of the building provides a beautiful view of the river and it was fun to watch the cruise ships come in and leave each day - all while overlooking the incredible tile roofs of the buildings surrounding us. We stayed for nine days and got to know the local restauranteurs and shop owners. They treated us like family. We hope to return to Lisbon, stay at Paula's place, and see our newly-made friends again! Thanks, Paula and Carlos, for the memorable stay in Alfama.
The apartment was clean and ready when promised and the hosts were flexible with accommodating our need for luggage drop off. The airport transfers were excellent and very much appreciated.The star of the show was absolutely the terrace where we spent a good deal of time.
Wir (5 Damen) haben die Tage sehr genossen. Die Wohnung ist so wie beschrieben, nachts ist es etwas lauter, aber mit geschlossenem Fenster ist alles gut. Das Schlafzimmer ohne Fenster ist gewöhnungsbedürftig. Unser Kontakt mit Nuno war super nett und seine Tipps waren toll. Dankeschön. Die Dachterrasse ist ein Traum.
There were 3 adults and the apartment was very accommodating for us. We weren't inside much during the day so we mainly enjoyed the terrace at night. There are restaurants, grocery markets and plenty of wine options just outside of the apartment. Fantastic location with much to see and do within walking distance. I would not hesitate to stay here again! Only demerit is the bed that I slept on...it was very low to the floor and no side tables, as space was limited.
L'appartement est bien situé, bien qu'aucune voiture (sauf les taxis) ne peut y accéder (rue très étroite). L'appartement est propre mais deux des trois chambres sont très petites. Par contre la terrasse et la vue sont belles.
This was exactly what we expected. Alfama apartments are generally smaller, but the best feature of this place is a great terrace patio with a fabulous view of the Tagus river and the sweep of the opposite shore. Really spectacular and we spent every evening there sharing stories, drinking in the view along with wonderful Portuguese wine.
One of our best vacations ever!

Disappointed
Firstly let me say that this property is in a good position for sight seeing. The roof terrace was quiet and with a good view. The guy who checked us in was also very friendly and even helped my husband when he was having trouble booking some tickets. We are very grateful for this. The property was clean.
I then have to point out we are a family group of seven adults and we stayed during a heatwave.
Unfortunately not all was good.
We found the property a bit tired. For example our bedroom door handle was broken meaning we couldn’t shut the door at all. Although it advertises as having air conditioning this is only in the small lounge and there is none in the kitchen or bedrooms. It was knock out heat in the bathrooms too.
None of us could sleep due to both the heat and noise. Lots of shouting in the street at night. We have stayed in lots of city apartments (just this year in Rome, Barcelona and Budapest) so we expect a bit of noise but this was pretty bad. If you opened the windows (which we had to) you could not sleep. There was often the thud of the drumbeat from the music from the cafe directly below us too.
When we arrived we realised that the beds in the bedroom with no windows at all, have legs that wobble all over the place. As our daughter has a serious back condition, we did not think she should sleep here so my husband and I took this room. The door does not open more than the length of a ruler as the bed is in the way and as I’ve said, it doesn’t shut either. There was no air in the heat at all. All the bedrooms were much to hot.
Despite all the noise the roof space remains quiet which is where we were when it wasn’t too hot to be out there. However the furniture is not comfortable to sit on sadly.
The lounge has the only comfortable seating and that’s a sofa for two. The rest of the chairs are not for relaxing in.
I nearly always give five star reviews, but given the price we paid and even taking into account the fact that cities are more expensive, we were disappointed with our accommodation. There definitely needs to be air conditioning in the bedrooms at the very least.
This place was cozy and very well situated for our 30th birthday trip. The views are stunning from the back patio and the location is really fun for grabbing dinners and exploring the area. Also very convenient for our train to Porto. 5 gals fit in the each of the single beds, which was just fine. Maybe stronger fans would have been helpful- very European but without AC in bedrooms it’s a trade off for shielding light when you sleep, letting air in, or closing windows for also protecting noise. Otherwise wonderful stay!
