Alfama Treasure

My husband and I stayed 1 week during the coronavirus outbreak in March of 2020, which could have ruined our vacation in Lisbon, but Ellie, the owner of this sweet vacation rental, made sure we stayed informed and offered advice on things to do, places to go, and how to best enjoy the city and its people. Critical was her advice on how to get to the flat from the airport and back to the airport for our return flight. Her hospitality started when we booked her flat and continued throughout our stay. We are much appreciative. The flat is quaint with everything you could possibly need to be comfortable. It is located within a very short walk to Tram 28 with several small cafes and markets very nearby. Once you get your bearings, you'll realize it's also close to the Metro and all there is to see in the historic Alfama district. If you choose this rental, you won't be disappointed! We hope to return one day!

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.

Kleine Wohnung in sehr guter Lage

Super, alle Absprachen mit der Vermieterin waren unkompliziert, sogar für die kühleren Tage gab es ohne Anfrage sofort einen kleinen Heizkörper. Das Haus ist 200 Jahre alt, dementsprechend nichts für große Leute, die Deckenhöhe ca. 1,90m. Steile enge Treppe, kleine Zimmerchen, aber alles ausreichend. Schlafzimmer mit Doppelbett mit 1,40m Breite, weitere Schlafmöglichkeit im Wohnzimmer mit ausklappbaren Bett, haben wir nicht genutzt. Stadtgeräusche sind eher leise, nur feiernde Menschen und Müllabfuhr etwas lauter. Perfekte Lage zum Stadt erkunden!

About the host

Hosted by ellie ali

I have been hosting here in Lisbon since 2007. I am very proud of Alfama, this old and beautiful neighborhood and I enjoy sharing my knowledge of the city with visitors. I live on the top floor of the same building and I am available to answer any questions you may have.

Why they chose this property

Lisbon is a very charming old world city. It has lots of outdoor cafes on every street. The art, music and food of Portugal is found in abundance in Lisbon, the capital. I chose the Alfama neighborhood because of its ancient feel, tiny streets with very few cars, people who have lived there for many generations keeping their old traditions. You are in the city and at the same time in a tiny village with an atmosphere of another time. I am a painter and find the city beautiful and inspiring.

What makes this property unique

The apartment is 10 minute walk to the downtown center, a 3 minute walk to the River Tejo, the large river that runs through Lisbon to the Atlantic. It is a short trip to Estoril beaches by public transport. The # 28 Electrico (tram) which is one minute walk from the door, takes you on an enchanting ride through the tiny streets and hills across Lisbon. You don't need a car in Lisbon, public transport and taxis are very abundant and not expensive. Lisbon is a 'secret' city that lives on it's own time. Portuguese people revere their quality of life, which I have found emphasizes eating good fresh food (excellent fish) and drinking the wines of the country, which is another wonderful discovery.
