And, you can travel around Lisbon on the delightful, picturesque electric tram # 28 which is a 1 minute walk from the apartment. It is a 5 minute walk to the Metro Station in Santa Apolonia Train Station. (Lisbon's main terminal) In the station is a Pingo Doce supermarket open until 10PM, very convenient!

About the area

Lisbon

Located on a river, this apartment is in Lisbon Old Town, a neighborhood in Lisbon. Lisbon Cathedral and Castle of São Jorge are notable landmarks, and the area's natural beauty can be seen at Costa da Caparica Beach and Carcavelos Beach. Check out an event or a game at Estádio da Luz, and consider making time for Lisbon Oceanarium, a top attraction not to be missed. Sailing and surfing/body boarding offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with ecotours and cycling nearby.

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.

Wonderful stay in Alfama
Fabulous location and atmosphere in ancient Alfama. Good restaurants, including a nice Fado place, excellent transportation access. A great place to stay for an authentic Lisbon experience in a very old part of town full of character.

Alfama
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.

About the host

Hosted by ellie ali

Host profile image
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.
