The apartment is in a very quant area of Lisbon with lots of restaurants and fado bars around the corner. It is big and comfortable enough for a family, and fully stocked with soap/coffee/laundry detergent. There were also fans in every single room since there is no A.C., but if you close the blinds and turn on all the fans the apartment cools down immensely.
Nuno was also extremely helpful and gave us great recommendations for where to eat, drink, and listen to fado. He picked us up from the airport and drove us around the area so that we knew what we were close to/ what we could walk to etc.
The apartment is also up the street from the metro so it makes accessibility to other parts of town easy. Especially since Alfama is not the liveliest part of Lisbon. It’s about a 30 minute walk to livelier areas, but it is very safe and easy to navigate.
