The Alfama neighborhood is the place to stay! We felt like locals staying in the quiet neighborhood and were walking distance from so many great places. We visited with our 14 month old and felt at home with all the amenities. When we explored the neighborhood, there were plenty of restaurants, shops, and nice views. When we ventured out of the city, the hosts hade a nice list of recommendations for Sintra and Cascais. We enjoyed coming back to the unit after exploring the cities. The unit had everything we needed—we even made an authentic Portuguese dinner in the kitchen. The local butcher and market were walking distance from our place. It was a great experience for all of us.
