Perfect vacation

5 out of 5
Review Submitted: 13 April 2013 Date of Stay: March 2013
Recently we came back from our European vacation. It was our first visit to Lisbon and we loved it!
Our enjoyment has a lot to do with the apartment, it’s location and Rui – very nice and helpful person who is always available if you need him and answers all your questions. He even has his own city guide which was very helpful to us.
The apartment is not big, but it has everything you need and even more than you can expect including tea, coffee, Porto and soap in the shower. The only thing it lacks is Internet connection or WiFi. But it’s not a big problem because there are a couple of Internet café nearby.
And, of course, location! It’s really in the heart of Lisbon, very close to the most important sightseeing and transportation and a lot of Fado places. The atmosphere of this neighborhood is charming, romantic and gives you very warm feelings.
Our first language is Russian but we didn’t have any problem communicating with Rui because he speaks English well and we understood each other perfectly.
We definitely want to visit Lisbon again and, of course, can’t think of staying anywhere else but at this beautiful Alfama apartment. And we very thankful to Rui who contributed a lot in our nice time in Lisbon. Also our thanks to Rui’s friend Raul who helped us on our arrival departure with our luggage and taxi.
Thank you again, Rui!

Owner's Response: Hello to New York!

This is such a nice review, thank you I & R! It was my pleasure meeting you and having you at S. Miguel, I am happy you enjoyed your stay :-) Hopefully we meet again, if not in Alfama, perhaps on your side of the ocean, who knows! :-)

Thank you once again, I wish you all the best.

Review Submitted: 13 February 2011 Date of Stay: January 2011
Though the apartment feels smaller than the pictures, we found the apartment well located, clean, well kitted-out and comfortable. Perfect for two people.

Thanks a lot Rui, for all the recommendations, information and guides, we used the Lonely Planets the whole time we were there. The kitchen has all the basics - it was very helpful to have the oil and condiments and tea...made life a lot easier! Also, the bread and fruit Rui brought us on arrival was really sweet and very much appreciated.

Alfama is a lovely district, very small and charming. There are lots of bars and restaurants with character. It's wonderful to explore the labyrinthine streets...

Thanks Rui for your recommendations, help and hospitality!

Owner's Response: Thank you, Jessa & Fred :-) It was my pleasure having you as guests, I am happy you enjoyed it :-)

As for the size of the apartment, the official papers of the apartments state the total of a 55 sqm area, and this together with all corners and storage space, as usual. Your remark was however very useful, and I have added the area of each room to the bottom of the pictures I have in the ad, hoping this will help potential guests having a better idea of the apartment :-)

Thank you, once again :-)

Lovely weeks in Alfama

5 out of 5
Review Submitted: 19 July 2010 Date of Stay: June 2010
It's like being transferred back in time, viewing out from the balcony. The small alleys climbs the hill in labyrinths. Dogs barking, Fado songs echoes at night. In the morning you cross the street for some fresh bread. If being in Alfama during the Sardine festival you smell the smokey scent of grilled fish from noon til dawn. Time slows down and your legs will get a proper workout if you plan to see some of all the things worth seeing, and it's impossible to grasp it all. Take the bus and the ferry and explore the mighty waves of the Atlantic ocean in Telha da Fonte. The apartment has everything you need for a pleasant stay and if you need anything, we mean anything, just call Rui, who showed out to be the the most kind and forecoming landlord we could have imagined.
