Step into a home that mirrors Alfama itself: compact, full of character, and just steps from cobbled streets where Fado drifts through the night. Simple, cozy, and practical, the perfect base to live Lisbon like a local.
- Living & Dining
A cozy corner to rest after wandering Alfama’s alleys. Sink into the sofa, share a meal at the table for 4, or just let the TV play while the neighborhood hum drifts through the windows.
- Bedroom 1
A snug double room with a 140x200 cm bed and wardrobe. The small window gives ventilation, but this is really a space to retreat, close the door, and rest.
- Bedroom 2
Bright and versatile: a single bed that turns into two. With frosted-glass doors and traditional windows, it’s a space where morning light and Alfama’s rhythm greet you.
- Kitchen
Compact, yet practical, and perfect for simple meals and slow mornings. Brew your coffee with the Nespresso machine, make quick breakfasts with the toaster, or cook dinner on the 4-burner electric stovetop with oven and microwave. There’s also a mini-fridge to keep your essentials fresh and a washing machine for longer stays. Everything you need without taking space from your Lisbon adventures.
- Bathroom
Small but functional, with a shower for a quick refresh before diving back into Alfama’s streets.
Why Stay Here?
- Immerse yourself in Alfama’s soul, with Fado houses, viewpoints, and cobbled streets right outside.
- A cozy base for couples or friends who want an authentic Lisbon stay.
- Live like a local, close to the river and the city’s main landmarks.
Good to Know
- 1st floor, no elevator. Access via a traditional wooden staircase.
- Pedestrian street: taxis can drop you at the door, ride-hailing services cannot.
- Alfama is lively: expect noise at night and during the Santo António festivities in June.
- Building renovation works are currently taking place. Some daytime noise may be experienced during your stay.

6 reasons why to choose this listing on Flatio
No more personal visits, no more stress or disappointment! You deal with the whole renting process immediately.
We have personally checked this owner.
You get Flatio support for the whole duration of your rent.
The whole contract is available for you before booking.
The payment is completely safe. You can pay by card.
Compared to real estate agencies you'll save on average 400 EUR.
Once you send a booking request, the host is notified that you are interested in their listing. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your booking.
Hosts are mainly interested in the profile of their guest. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your booking will more likely get approved.
All the properties listed on Flatio must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and Wi-Fi included. In rare cases, a property may not offer Wi-Fi – this is always clearly stated on the listing page.
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the hosts offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without Flatio is not that easy.
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every listing. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the hosts on Flatio.
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the host and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
In the event that you move in and the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio, let us know as soon as possible!
If the conditions for the withdrawal are met and the host can't fix the issue immediately, you have the option to withdraw from the lease agreement with a full refund. We'll also actively help you find an alternative accommodation and remain by your side until everything is fully resolved.
You can read the conditions and all details about our Move-in Guarantee in this article of our Help Center.
On Flatio, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How you can cancel a booking varies depending on what stage the booking is in.
Is your booking request still waiting for host approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your booking request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the booking before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the host accepts your booking, the property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved booking and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your booking, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
Your message has been sent! The host will get back to you soon.
Basic principles of Flatio lease agreement
1
Transparency and simplicity. We are the only operator in the market to offer a single lease agreement for everything.
2
Guarantee of legal certainty. The lease agreements are in full compliance with the laws of the country where the lease is negotiated via Flatio. No matter whether you stay there for one or twelve months.
3
Online agreement in your language. The basis is an agreement concluded in the language of the place of the lease, but the agreement is always translated into English and the most frequently used languages. The agreement is always signed online, so you can conclude it wherever you are in the world.
4
Guarantee of a trustworthy presentation of the apartment. With Flatio, you may rest assured the apartment looks exactly as presented. And if, by any chance, the condition of the apartment does not match the description in the listing, we will refund your full rent and fees and give you 7 days of free hotel rooms.
5
Comfortable extension. Do you want to stay longer in the apartment? No problem. If the owner confirms the apartment is available for you, you will extend the agreement online. Similarly, an agreement may be terminated with a simple 30-day notice, once again, online.
6
All-inclusive price. The rent includes all services, including utilities and Wi-Fi, and it is not charged unless it exceeds 15 % of the rent. This saves you a lot of paperwork at the time of the apartment handover. If a property does not offer Wi-Fi, it is clearly indicated on the listing page.
7
Always 30 days ahead. Whether you move in at the beginning or half way through the month, the rent paid always covers the 30 days that follow. With Flatio, the “month" always starts with you moving in and you will never pay multiple rents at the same time.
9
Take photos of the apartment. We recommend that you take photos showing the current condition of the apartment on the first and the last day of the lease and send the pictures to us. The photos, along with a signed handover report, will be of great assistance when dealing with any unpleasant situations we hope will never occur.
You can read the full text of the lease agreement here. The specific version of the lease agreement that applies to you will be displayed right after your booking is approved and your personal data completed.
Stay Benefits won’t apply - Coverage by deposit
For bookings of 180 days or longer, the host requires a refundable deposit.
Please note that the deposit is a full substitute for the Stay Benefits plan. Therefore, this plan that includes extra liability and assistance service insurance won’t be applied to this booking.
Nevertheless, rest assured that you will continue to be covered under our standard StayProtection package, only with the Stay Benefits excluded.
Average price
Since every host can set different rates for each month or even for specific dates, we display the average price you will pay per 30 days. You can view the complete payment schedule in the booking box of each listing detail - simply input the dates of your stay and the payment list will be calculated according to the host's settings.

Deposit
This is the total amount of the deposit to be paid by the start of the lease (usually the move-in day).
The required amount can be even zero!
In fact, Flatio hosts CANNOT require a deposit for
stays of less than 180 days (6 months). This is because we believe that all guests are responsible and caring people and only onboard hosts who share this attitude.
For longer stays, the host decides whether or not to require a deposit.
Utilities and internet
All utilities and internet are at Flatio always included. You don't pay any hidden fees.
Service fee
This one-time fee helps to cover our operational costs. Thanks to the service fee, we can provide you with verified listings, StayProtection coverage, reliable customer support, and much more.
Make a booking with no obligations
With Flatio, you won’t have to pay anything until the host accepts your booking request and you decide to sign the lease agreement. So go ahead and make the booking request – it’s free!
Proportional rent
You are paying for the equivalent amount of days which were spent from a whole month (month = 30 days)
Alternative Accommodation
In the event that you move in and the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio, let us know as soon as possible!
If the conditions for the withdrawal are met and the host can't fix the issue immediately, you have the option to withdraw from the lease agreement with a full refund. We'll also actively help you find an alternative accommodation and remain by your side until everything is fully resolved.
You can read the conditions and all details about our Move-in Guarantee in this article of our Help Center.
Cancelation Policy
Strict (30-days)
Rent
If you cancel your booking 30 days or more before the move-in date, you’ll get a refund of the entire first rent.
If you cancel your booking up to 14 days before the move-in date, you’ll get a refund of half of the first rent.
If you cancel your booking less than 13 days before the move-in date, you won’t get a refund of the first rent.
Service fee
The service fee is always refundable.
If you send a message to Flatio's Support Team requesting cancelation of the booking ("termination from the start date") within 48 hours after the lease agreement becomes valid, you're entitled to get back all the money you paid for the service fee.
After 48 hours, you're entitled to a refund of the service fee in the form of a "voucher" equal to the amount of the service fee you paid. The voucher can be used for your next booking and is valid for 12 months. If the service fee for your next booking is lower than the voucher amount, we'll issue you a new voucher for the remaining amount, valid for 12 months.
Read more about the cancelation policy on Flatio in our help center.
