We loved this apartment! Everything that you hope will be in an apartment to make your stay that bit better was there; comfortable beds with fresh, clean linen, plenty of towels, good shower and loads of hot water. The kitchen was very well equipped, good oven, and I loved the Lisbon themed crockery! This was our first time in Lisbon, and having a host to meet us was a nice touch. We had no trouble finding the apartment, but if you were unsure of getting there it would be reassuring to be met. The wine and snacks waiting for us was a nice touch, thank you! Bernardo was friendly and engaging, and suggested local places to eat the first night. We really liked the Alfama, it was friendly and quirky. The apartment is well decorated and thought has gone into the furnishings. It is in a great location, near the castle, and an interesting walk into the centre, with shops and bars along the way. There is a patisserie near the apartment, ideal for breakfast. Saving the best for last, the terrace! This was one of the main reasons we chose this apartment, and it did not disappoint. The weather was changeable while we were there, but the conservatory means you can still sit and enjoy the surroundings. From the terrace the river view is unbeatable : you can watch the huge cruise liners come and go, and watching the colours of the buildings change in the different light with a glass of wine in hand is very relaxing, I encourage you to experience it!
