We had an excellent 9-day stay in Lisbon and Maria’s apartment contributed greatly to that. Even as 60 plus-year-old’s we had no problems climbing the 5 flights of stairs which were richly rewarded with wonderful views over the Tagus river, and found the location very convenient for everything we wanted to do. The apartment was very well equipped for cooking and self-catering generally, and the double bed very comfortable. The location in Alfama, close to Apolonia station for metro and bus access, is fantastic. There are loads of interesting places to visit nearby and getting lost in the backstreets of Alfama was one of our favourite activities! We recommend the Aquarela supermarket a few yards away and had enjoyed eating at the ‘taberna dos clerigos’ restaurant close by.
