Madeline's apartment is a perfect place to stay when visiting Lisbon. If you like staying a bit further away from the hustle of the city and enjoy the quiet, historic location of the old town - this is the place to stay. The location couldn't be better for exploring Lisbon, although you need to be prepared to climb a lot of hills as Alfama's streets are quite steep. It all adds to its charm though as there's nothing better than getting lost in the little streets where you can stumble upon random street art, and local bars and restaurants. It is quite easy to get to from the airport if you don't want to pay for a taxi - the metro station is 10min from the flat, although if you carry heavy bags, you might struggle to drag them up the steep hill. We were absolutely fine with our hand luggage.
The apartment itself is very charming, bright and clean, perfect for a couple. There are two bedrooms, but if you are sharing with another couple you might find it a bit crowded as the apartment is on a smaller side. The kitchen is very basic, but was enough to cook breakfast for the two of us. All the essential amenities were there for us to use, and Madeline was very quick to respond when needed.
All in all, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay there again. Would highly recommend it as a perfect place to spend a weekend.
