The apartment is fantastic, all mod-cons and then some. It even has a steam oven! It is also in a great location. Inês is a wonderful hostess and couldn't be more helpful. Lisbon itself is a magical place with so much to do and really welcoming people, which is unusual in a big city. The Alfama district is great for Fado and lots of quirky little restaurants and shops. You must visit Vielo do Fado restaurant which is family run. Go on a friday or saturday to hear one of the best Portuguese guitarists Paolo Jorge and his 93 year old partner Jose Gomes on guitar. Do get a day pass for travel which gives you access to all public transport (including the 28 tram) - only €6 for 24 hours, great value. DO NOT get the sightseeing tour bus it is a waste of time.
