The flat is in a great location in Alfama, close to San Apolonia station, and made a good base for exploring Lisbon. It was lovely being in amongst all the cobbled streets and stairways of the district. The flat is small, but it had everything we needed. The only downside was that the layout of the flat meant we couldn't really use the sitting room, etc after our children (aged 7 & 9) were in bed as the rooms are straight off it and have windows in the doors. But this wasn't a big deal for us and the children loved their bunk/den room. Paula is an absolutely excellent host - we felt well looked after and she was in touch with lots of information before we arrived, on arrival and throughout our stay with thoughtful surprises and tips. We had a fantastic time here.
