Really enjoyed staying at this apartment - located in Alfama - a traditional part of the city.
Good points - The apartment has been sensitively updated and very tastefully decorated.
There are 2 decent hairdryers, loads of clothes storage and plenty of clothes hangers. 2 decent sized bathrooms,one of them is en-suite to the master bedroom.
Wonderful views of the river - could sit in the lounge area and just watch the ships.
Plenty of loo roll and kitchen sink/washing up accessories. Washer/dryer and dishwasher although couldn't find any detergent for either.
Not so good points - Couldn't watch tv as wasn't tuned in but able to get Netflix. Had a few hot water issues to start with so unable for four of us to shower on the first morning.
Apartment was very cold so if going before or after summer, would suggest you take lots of jumpers. Would imagine it will stay nice and cool in summer though.
No complimentary tea, coffee or sugar so you will have to go and buy some.
Places to visit/local tips -
Good location in the old part of the city with 2 superb restaurants on the door step, both just up the hill, less than 200m away - Petit Cafe (great food and Mojitos) and Canto Da Vila Bistro (a tiny traditional restaurant with only 6 tables).
Visit the Se Cathedral just across the road and see it's beautiful round stained glass window at the front depicting a clock like image of Jesus at the centre and his 12 disciples around the outside. Try out the Tuk - tuks just outside the cathedral but be prepared to haggle to get the best price. We were quoted €60 for an hours tour but ended up agreeing to pay €40 for a side splitting trip!
I would recommend Uber for getting round the city quickly and relatively cheaply.
Visit the designer store lined Avenida da Liberdade or for more affordable High St type shopping check out the Rua do Carmo
