This is a wonderful, wonderful place to call home for a few days in Lisbon. The apartment is meticulously maintained, and has every possible amenity - from nespresso machines to a washing machine. It is a large, airy and sun-filled apartment with a comfortable bed and lots of bed linen, blankets etc. It even has a balcony with a view of the Tagus river! But the best thing about this place is it's location in a beautiful residential area where you will never see another tourist. This is a place with a slow pace of life, locals going about their daily lives, old football clubs, and hole-in-the-wall restaurants with fried sardines. Just 5 minutes walk down the hill brings you to the fantastic medieval part of town, Alfama, with its narrow winding streets passing through a strange and beautiful mix of architecture, lots of lovely shops and restaurants.
The hosts were also very helpful - we had a late night check in with absolutely no hassles and a very warm welcome.
