Emine had a beautiful apartment in a location central to many of the historic sites. We were walking distance from the water, and managed to walk to many of the sights with 2 kids (a 3 yr old and a 1 yr old). Emine also helpfully allowed us to check in early, even though she had guests immediately before us.
The apartment is on the 5th floor of an old building with no elevators, so it was a hike every time we returned to the apartment, especially when you are carrying kids or luggage. The apartment itself is spacious, clean and full of interesting touches. The bedroom in the loft area has narrow stairs without a guard rail which are a little tricky for kids, so we had to keep the door closed while our little ones were roaming around. But Emine provided us with kids' utensils and a high chair which we were grateful for.
We had a rental car with us on our trip. There is very little street parking near the apartment, and what there is, is on a steep hill. We ended up parking at the Pingo Doce which was about 7 min walk from the apartment. It was about 20 euros a day.
