Diana's apartment was the perfect place to stay on our first trip to Lisbon. It’s about 5 minutes walk from Santa Apolonia station (from where you can catch the metro, or indeed take the train on to other cities). There's also the scenic 28 tram a few streets away.

Alfama is a lovely quarter, with windy streets and historic buildings scattered all over the place. The apartment itself was lovely - clean and comfortable with great views around thanks to its position at the top of an old apartment building. Bruce, Diana's husband, was waiting to meet us at the apartment on the day that we arrived and gave us some great tips. In addition, he had brought us a bottle of wine and some delicious cookies to nibble on - yum.

Overall, a great place to stay – and lovely views out on to alfama. We even stayed on an extra day as we felt we hadn't left enough time to explore Lisbon.

Thank you
