Open the windows and listen the fado! The Crooked House Alfama is the perfect place to discover Lisbon. In this lovely flat we offer a true experience typical of Alfama. With a vintage touch that seeks the singularity of Portuguese culture, where you can live the native culture and way of life. We are only 5 minutes from the metro (Santa Apolónia) and 10 minutes walk from Chiado, Castelo. The apartment with lots of natural light and three balconies. Has a very comfortable bedroom.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

The best in town!!
The best place to stay in the heart of Alfama! It’s a very cosy, clean and peaceful place to stay, you feel like home! Every small thing was planned to make our trip easier. If you come to Lisbon for a small or longer trip this is the place you should stay!! Highly recommended!

Ótima localização, excelente acomodação, eu recomendo!!!!!
O bairro é bem turístico, tudo bem próximo, a anfitriã Rafaela, nos deixou muito a vontade, dando indicações e informações precisas, já nos hospedamos em vários AirBnb, mas nunca encontramos um com nível de limpeza fantástica e a qualidade das toalhas de banho e roupas de cama excelentes.

A place to come back.
We were 4 friend who stayed over a long weekend in the flat. The hosts received us in a both friendly and professional way which was much appreciated. The flat is located within walking distance from almost everything and we found it well equipped and very comfortable as much as cozy. It made us feel a bit like home. A little bit of outside noise, but with windows closed it doesn't bother at all. It’s definitely a coming back, keep up the good work!

A little gem in the heart of Old Lisbon
A great location for visiting Lisbon. The flat is in an old house in the Alfama district and is within easy walking distance of the centre, and also close to transport links to more distant attractions. If you want to wander the streets of Alfama, sampling the many restaurants, bars and fado clubs, then this is very central. There are shops, bakeries and restaurants all around it, even a fado club opposite so you can just sit with the windows open and soak in the atmosphere! The Fado museum is only just down the road too. The flat itself is clean and well appointed. The bed was really comfortable and, although we only stayed for a few days, there was a washing machine if we needed it, a great coffee machine and a fantastic shower! I would say that a slightly better arrangement in the kitchen of the hotplate and microwave would be useful, but there are so many good restaurants around, you really don’t use the kitchen much. Although it was hot when we were there (30 degrees +) there was a fan, so we didn’t need to have the windows open at night, so, although the Fado club went on til late, it never disturbed us. The real plus for this little flat is the helpfulness of Rafaela and Paulo. They gave us lots of info on how to get there from the airport, things to see, shopping, sights, restaurants to eat in. A lovely place and I would go back there.

We had a lovely stay in a comfortable apartment, pity about the neighbouring bar
We had a lovely stay in acomfortable apartment, pity about the neighbouring Fado bar across the street. Due to the heat we needed to open the windows at night but due to the noise until 2 am we couldn't. Fine to stay if the temperature is cooler than 28 to 33 degrees we had.
