About this apartment rental

Discover Lisbon from its most iconic neighbourhoods: Castelo, Alfama, and Graça.
Our apartment sits right where these three historic districts meet — a perfect base to explore the city's soul.

Just an 8-minute walk from the Castle of São Jorge, one of Lisbon’s highest points, you'll enjoy sweeping views over the city and the Tagus River. On your way back, stop by Chapitô, a circus school turned bar and terrace with one of the best panoramic views in Lisbon.

In Alfama, lose yourself in narrow alleys, charming viewpoints, and vibrant riverside spots. Let the sounds of Fado (Portugal’s soulful music, recognised by UNESCO) guide your steps through this atmospheric neighbourhood where it all began.

And from Graça, take in breathtaking views from its famous viewpoints, stroll through the quirky Feira da Ladra flea market (just 4 minutes away), or hop on the iconic tram 28 right around the corner.

These three neighbourhoods are beautifully celebrated in the song "Lisboa Menina e Moça" by Carlos do Carmo — and our apartment is right in the heart of them.

The apartment is in a fantastic area. Close to many restaurants and major tourist sites. It is easy to catch an uber to take you anywhere. Beds are comfortable. Kitchen, living room and rest of the house was perfect. The hostess Ruth shared recommendations on places to visit and was very responsive. We would stay here again.

Comfortable well equipped apartment Central to Alfama but in quiet area. The beds were comfortable and the apartment very clean and well maintained. The rental team of Ruth and Sonia were great. We stayed in February when weather was 50-65F. We would stay here again.
6 / 10Average·Oct 2025
The map pin and directions for Uber drop off were completely inaccurate. We were told many details by text that made us think we were well taken care of, but in the end, it was completely unhelpful. We were dropped near by with no clear way to find the place ("tell the driver to turn right" but she left out the part about turning left from the pinned place to get to the street where we were to turn right!), so we ended up in two Ubers, and by the time we arrived, the host kept slipping in rude comments and questions about why we were late and blaming us for missing her bus (even thou we actually arrived just before 3pm when the listing says is check in time). During the tour, the host told us that the microwave was recently broken and couldn't be fixed in time for our visit, which seemed unlikely, and actually asked us if we would let an electrician in during one day of our stay to repair exposed wires in the bath/laundry room. The host also let us know that one of the coffee pods was used because she had to have one while she waited for us. No mention of replacing it, and still accusing us for lateness when the directions were inaccurate. The rooms themselves are very comfortable and set up beautifully. The area had a few decent cafes and supermarket within a 10 minute walk. Skip the "famous" flea market on Sunday - garbage. It's a nice enough place, and I recommend it if you have time enough to wander to find it. Pack lightly because all the streets are cobblestone.
