The apartment and the location are both amazing! We had 2 families each with a young child, and we all had a wonderful week. The flat is relatively cool in what was a warm week in Lisbon, an oasis of calm after busy days, and surprisingly quiet given how close it is to busy areas like the cathedral, castle, and restaurants etc. It's easy walking distance (bearing in mind that Lisbon is the city of 7 hills) to the centre and to transport, and the local area of Alfama is full of interesting narrow winding streets with shops and restaurants, and well worth exploring on its own without venturing too far. The apartment itself is spacious and well laid out between living and bedroom areas, which our young children thoroughly enjoyed :) Thanks to Lauren & Édouard for their responsiveness, answering all our questions very promptly!
