The apartment was beautiful and my family and I are still thinking about Alexandra's apartment in Lisboa! We were greeted warmly by Pedro, Alexandra's brother, and shown around the apartment. It was more than we expected, and it is just as beautiful as it looks in the photos. It was complete with everything you need: kitchenware, towels, TV, WiFi, etc. The big shower head made showering after a long day of sightseeing that much more pleasurable. The The temperature in the apartment was easily adjusted by opening the windows and closing or opening the shutters. At night we would play cards and it was a treat to listen to the Fado singers from the restaurants below. There was an abundance of restaurants in the area and it was fun to walk around the small streets of Alfama. This was the perfect mix of an old neighbourhood and a beautifully renovated, modern apartment. It is quite a walk up the stairs to the apartment, but it definitely keeps you fit :) Hope to be there again!
