At doorstep of Alfama, a delicious mansion combining contemporary style and 18th century azulejos
With a resolutely contemporary decoration, the Alfama Jardim apartment will drop you into a mixed environment, at the same time modern and historical. The place used to be an ancient convent now converted into comfortable and elegant flats. At the doorsteps of Alfama, a city district which has changed so little since the 17th century, and also a hundred meters away fron the Tagus river docks with its “à la mode” restaurants and hype night clubs. In short it is a perfect starting point for your tourist activities in Lisbon or just for spending an unforgettable time in the seven hill city.
The area surrounding the apartment:
If you come to Lisbon, you cannot miss Alfama, one of the most picturesque and historical medieval neighborhoods, a mesh of small tiny streets, cul-de-sacs and stone stairs. It has a mixed population, people of all ages, “true” lisboners or lost tourists come to visit or to hear Fado. Since cars can hardly enter, it is a quiet neighborhood that keeps its old world charm. Like in many other places in Lisbon, you’ll also find some of the most spectacular viewpoints of the Tagus river and the city. You can also still find various forms of traditional commerce, as well as nice quaint little restaurants and bars. From the apartment you can walk to the majority of the most popular sightseeing destinations, such as the “Castelo de S. Jorge” the “Sé” or the “Baixa Pombalina”. For transportation, walk, or go down to Santa Apolónia the main train station and its recently opened metro station, or use the popular tram n°28 that zigzags through Alfama and pursues its trip up and down the hills of Lisbon. There are several parking facilities nearby.
The apartment:
This nice two bedroom accommodation has the name of Jardim do Tabaco, in remembrance of the proximity of the tobacco customs, here tobacco commercial activity has existed in Lisbon Harbour since the 17th century. The flat is located on the second floor of the annex of a convent dedicated to Senhor Jesus da Boa Nova, of baroque architecture (Mafra school) and finished in 1748 just before the 1755 earthquake that partially destroyed Lisbon.
But enough of history ! Here you find every comfort for your stay ! With windows opening onto the Tagus river and the street bordered by magnificent trees there is a large living room with sofa, armchairs, a large TV set and of course like in any other room the walls covered of azulejos, those 18th century blue and yellow ceramic tiles. The dining room has a large wooden table with red chairs and also features the same ancient wood floors and wood painted ceilings.
Here a family or a party of four people have plenty of space with the two separate bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other one with twin beds and a nice stone fireplace. The bathroom features a shower and luxury towels for your own use. The kitchen is fully equipped for you to prepare all meals from breakfast to dinner unless you prefer to go out in the many nearby restaurants or fado houses.
Be ready for a pleasant stay in a relaxing atmosphere, at the same time modern and historical.

L'appartement était très beau, très propre et parfaitement équipé. Il était aussi très bien situé (gare, métro, supermarché). Nous avons beaucoup apprécié qu'il y ait un lit-bébé, une petite baignoire et tous les draps et essuies. L'accueil de Telma était aussi très bien.

Mooie ontvangst door Telma. Een handige plek gezien de metro en station om de hoek. Huis prachtig met uitzicht op de Taag en van binnen met originele portugese tegels aan muren en heel rustig, echter wel probleem dat zodra terras voor de deur goed vol zit ook laat 's avonds er lawaai kan zijn b(eenmaal gebeurt). In diverse talen boekjes over Portugal en Lissabon aanwezig, mis een bus overzicht (ook niet te krijgen bij toeristenbureau!) En wifi werkte wel maar niet goed.

Charmant et très joli appartement bien situé dans le quartier historique de lisbonne. Très propre,bien équipé,lumineux, belle hauteur de plafond, décoré avec goût (conforme aux photos). On a adoré les azulejos qui donnent beaucoup de caractère à cet appartement. Les enfants ont également bien apprécié leur chambre. Nous y avons passé un très agréable séjour. Merci à Telma pour son accueil sympathique et chaleureux.

The tiles!!
It does not have a bathtub and on the website it is advertised that the apartment has one. As I have a baby I wanted the apartment to have a bathtub to be able to bath my baby easily. I sent and email asking about the bathtub because I didn't see it in the photo gallery and the response was very vague and unhelpful as I just got a message indicating that the apartments are equipped as described in the website. Fortunately the owners and the representative of friendly rentals were very helpful and did every thing to get a baby bath.

La ubicación del apartamento es muy estratégica. A pesar de no estar en una zona elegante, el apartamento queda cerca de la estación del metro y de la estación que comunica con el resto de Portugal. Dado su ubicación, es posible llegar a ciertas atracciones sin tener que recurrir a ninigún sistema de transporte, sólo caminando. Las dimensiones del apartamento son muy convenientes y está completamente equipado. Telma, la persona encargada de la entrega de la llave fue muy atenta y un recurso muy valioso en términos de orientación sobre el área.
En varias ocasiones escribí para comunicar una preocupación en términos de la necesidad de salir temprano en la mañana (check out), nadie atendió mis dudas. No tengo ningún reclamo en términos de mi estadía en el apartamento, sí les recomiendo mejorar su servicio al cliente. Cuando a través del internet se accede a un servicio de arrendamiento como el que ustedes ofrecen, nos arriesgamos a obtener un producto que finalmente no nos satisface. Sin embargo, por suerte en este caso eso no ocurrió. De la misma manera en que envían comunicados, deben recibir y atender los reclamos de los clientes, en eso radica el éxito de empresas como Friendly Rentals. En ese sentido sí tengo reservas en recomendar sus servicios.

Appartement spacieux, bien aménagé. La situation en retrait dans une rue assez large pour l'alfama: proximité des bus, métro, du supermarché et des lieux touristiques de l'Alfama. Bon rapport qualité/ prix du restaurant situé au rez de chaussée.
au lever et au coucher du soleil, le bruit infernal des oiseaux dans les arbres devant les fenêtres...

Het appartement is erg charmant en goed uitgerust. De ligging is heel gunstig.
In de slaapkamer van de kinderen was de kooklucht van de buren erg goed te ruiken. De eerste avond rook het er erg sterk naar gegrilde sardines. Gelukkig kookte de buurvrouw de volgende dagen wat anders.

the apartment is perfectly situated for exploring the Alfama district and the rest of Lisbon as it is very close to metro & tram lines. The living / dining rooms were large and sunny with big windows. The old style tiles and decor was nice & authentic. A perfect choice.

Ja, het appartement is goed bevallen. Het lag gunstig ten opzichte van metro en supermarkt. Het was ruim en schoon en we hebben ons er prima vermaakt, al werden we 's avonds wel heel erg verblijd met alle geluid dat de vogels in de bomen voor ons huis maakten. Gelukkig raakten we er snel aan gewend.

Zoals op de foto's op de site al te zien was, vonden we het appartement erg smaakvol en compleet ingericht (ook de keuken en badkamer). De locatie is ook perfect: vlakbij station Apollania, waar ook een metrostation is en een supermarkt. Onder het appartement een pastelaria met een gezellig terras en waar je ook lekker en goedkoop kunt eten. Verder loop je vanuit het appartement zo de Alfama in: een leuke wijk om doorheen te zwerven. Als laatste wil ik de sympathieke ontvangst door de vertegenwoordigster (studente) van de eigenaar noemen: ze gaf ons allerlei nuttige tips was flexibel wat betreft het tijdstip van uitchecken.

Great location close to everything - metro, alfama and restaurants. Owners met me at the apartment on arrival and very smooth transactions - bond was returned with no questions. Well equipped apartment with all mod cons. Although a few blocks from busy road the apartment was quiet and would make a great romantic get-away.
A few more sunny days would have been great and you need good shoes for the Lisbon cobbles.
