We had a brilliant 9 night stay with our three small kids at Carolina's lovely house. It's a very attractive house on the edge of the old Alfama district. A short walk up the hill is Graca where there are shops (supermarkets, bakers, etc) and banks. On the way to Graca (2mins walk) is a fantastic viewpoint with a nice open air bar and little public garden. We couldn't resist stopping there for a beer most nights on our way back from the supermarket. The views across Lisbon are amazing. We ate in the house most nights (having a small baby) but there is a good variety of restaurants nearby. It's a 20 min walk to the centre of Lisbon but there are trams and loads of tuktuks if you don't fancy walking and the metro isn't far.
The house had everything we needed and was comfortable and clean. It's an old house with character and quirks but it's beautifully presented and we loved it. There is so much to do in Lisbon that we only scratched the surface, even after 9 days!
Thanks again Carolina for a brilliant stay.
