This apartment was the perfect fit for our young family (children ages 4, 6 and 10). It was lovely and bright in all of the rooms. Our girls enjoyed the terrace and it was a great extension to the apartment where we could all enjoy some down time with a beautiful view of the river. Although we visited as a family, this apartment would also be great if we were with two other couples as all of the bedrooms are separated nicely in 3 corners of the apartment, each with a bathroom next to it. The beds were very comfortable (which I can attest to as I played "musical beds" with my daughters throughout the week). The apartment was in a great spot in Alfama, once we figured out the maze of streets, we could easily access all of the points of interest in Alfama by foot (although there are a lot of hills and uneven streets, our kids were troopers). It was on a quiet street that cannot be accessed by public traffic. Joao arranged to have a transportation service meet us at the airport and he greeted us at the apartment when we arrived. He was very pleasant and showed us around the apartment as well as was quick to answer any questions that we had throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone and would choose to stay there again!
