Wow. This is such a awesome apartment. It is cosy, clean, charming and the kitchen has everything a family needs. Its a home away from home. Don't be fooled by the price, it is a absolute bargain but the apartment is one of the best we have stayed in. A real gem in the area.

Also the location is perfect, being close to all the major attractions; we were never more than 20 minutes walk away from the castle, the narrow streets of Alfama and the Praca de comercio. It is also close to supermarkets and there is a great authentic Portuguese restaurant 20 metres down the hill.

The metro (5 mins) is a easy walk and travel from the international airport is also very easy. We were traveling with 3 kids and it was no problem. The tram to Belem and train to Sintra were only 10 minutes from the apartment.

Miguel is a wonderful host and one of the nicest individuals we have ever met during our travels. He helped us with our lost luggage from British Airways and provided local advice on eateries, supermarkets and transport options. We could also contact him using whatsapp and there was always a instant reply. A real pleasure to have met him (Miguel) as he made our trip ever so more memorable.

If you are traveling with kids, we never felt unsafe and the locals were warm and welcoming. Would definitely, 100% recommend this place to everyone. Will be back again.

PS. After we left we checked into a 5 star hotel as my work booked it for me. It was in the high end of town but it lacked the character/history and soul of Miguel's apartment.
