For a charming Alfama getaway for a couple of nights before my flight, I was drawn to this rental by its prime location and exceptional rating. The photos looked inviting, and was excited to be steps away from Alfama’s fantastic dining spots. However, this place is seriously small. It’s tight for one person and probably a no go for two imo. The bathroom is teeny-tiny and has a musty smell, making showers interesting. The loft bed, while a clever thought, was uncomfortable and could use more headspace. Just a nice bed on the floor would be an improvement on comfort. On the bright side, the manager was an absolute star! Super friendly, made check-in a breeze, and shared some top-notch tips for exploring Alfama’s vibrant scene. The place has classic Alfama charm, but if you’re after a bit more wiggle room, you might find better value nearby. Still, would highly recommend this place with a warning to be fully prepared mentally and physically for the tight Alfama experience.
