The apartment is really lovely, exactly what you see in the photos. our kids loved having their own rooms. It is very clean and spacious. The 3 fans was very welcome, as it was hot (not as hot as it is now, but 33 on our last day). Now be prepared as it is on a hill and then its up the very top with no lift.
What we loved was that you are getting to see the real Lisbon, as it is in an old neighbourhood. Lovely pastries and coffee, just down the hill left or right. There are local restaurants we didn't get to eat in them, but they looked clean and welcoming. There are two supermarkets down the hill about 10 mins away, so very handy for when eating in with young kids. They had lovely fresh fish there. Also the balcony was lovely in the mornings and evenings to sit have breakfast or have a glass of wine at night. It was lovely to sit and hear the couple down stairs chatting away to their baby and they seemed to be always cooking things that smelt delicious...;)
Even though we have been to Lisbon (without the kids) a couple of times over weekends, we still found plenty to do. The metro is about 15min walk away. We went to the zoo (which is a must if you have kids) and the aquarium. We did lots of different activities, but all very accessible. The beach is a metro and then a train journey away of 45 mins to Estoril or Caiscais. All in all it was great and the apartment
