We really loved the location of the apartment in Alfama - it was definitely our most favourite area of Lisbon. We found it was nearby everything we needed - good restaurants, cafe's, a park for our daughter and easy access to lots of Lisbons main sites. It had a comfortable and welcoming vibe about it. The apartment itself was perfect for our needs (we hardly even noticed the steps after the first couple of times), was spacious and we felt very at home and at ease in it. It was so quiet we had to set our alarm to make sure we didn't just spend our 3 days there asleep!
