The flat is located in a gorgeous old district of Lisbon and has amazing views of the city and the harbor. We got to watch ships come and go from our balcony every morning and evening, and our son had a blast sitting out there sketching the evening skyline. Amazing traditional Portuguese Fado restaurants are just a few minutes walk away. Ambling through the neighborhood offers all the typical charm one could hope for - winding streets full of shops and restaurants, beautiful churches, an old castle on the hill just above... Absolutely lovely. One thing to note is that the flat can only be reached via many stairs (stairs both in the streets outside and in the building itself). This is what makes the beautiful views possible - and it's well worth it to climb the stairs for the views!. But the flat definitely wouldn't be suitable for elderly travelers or others with physical limitations. The kitchenette is also quite small and rather oddly configured (you have to open up a cabinet to access the kitchen sink and the cooktop). This makes it only suitable for basic uses and hence probably not the best choice for someone who wants to cook while on holiday. This wasn't a problem for us, since we wanted to enjoy Lisbon's many amazing restaurants anyway. As for our hosts, they were great. Very responsive and quick to answer all communications. Met us at the flat when we arrived and gave us info about the city, etc. And came back to meet us for check-out as well. We really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend this flat!
