This apartment is a little gem. If you want a true Lisbon experience, this is the perfect place. The building itself is just so beautiful, the corridor with the azulejos, the lovely interior decoration. It's in a little street, so narrow that the traffic is almost inexistant and the street is filled with life. Little restaurants are right at the corner, a nice supermarket 2 streets away as well as the lengendary tram 28. A waiting station for taxis is 5 minutes away, super useful. The Santos train station is very close, which is a great way to reach the beaches of the West or Belém.
We are a family of 4, with 2 kids under 4, and had a really great time here. Sandra and Joao were really the perfect hosts: they welcomed us with nice attentions (including some wonderful Pasteis de Natas, which we ended up eating pretty much every day of our stay... your are warned!), were very helpful during our stay and had even thought of providing toys for the kids and accessories for the beach!
And the kids park at Jardim do Estrella, uphill, is really great, if you don't mind the steep walk!
