The apartment was lovely and had great character. The Alfama district is interesting and a good base for seeing Lisbon's sights, though bring your walking shoes for the cobbled hills if you are planning on going places on foot!

We made good use of our 3-day Lisboa Cards, travelling on the Metro, trams (including the old 28) and the train to Sintra during our visit. The card also gives free entry to some museums, etc. and discounts off others, so recommended.

Shame we didn't get to meet Pedro and Maria in person but we will definitely recommend this apartment to any of our friends and family who are visiting Lisbon.
