The Writers Flat is bursting with charm and character and also comfortable, very well appointed and in a great location - super central in the medaeval part of town. Perfect for us. We loved it. The Cousins are very attentive and respond quickly to all communications. Living in the apartment was easy and enjoyable. We loved hearing the Cathedral bells so close, hanging out the window watching the world go by, dipping 1 mintue down to the square for cocktails and winding our way up past the Cathedral through the cobbled alleys of Alfama. We had a wonderful holiday.
