Location, location, location! If you want to feel like a local in Lisbon, this neighborhood is perfect. Tons of great local restaurants and cafes all within a few blocks of the apartment. No other tourists, tons of families. My kids enjoyed making new friends in the nearby park which is less next door. Then you can walk less than 10 minutes and be at the start of Tram 28 ,which is important to know if you wish to get a seat rather than catching it somewhere else which will mean standing the whole time. It also only costs about 5-8 Euro to get downtown or to Belem. Goncalo met us on arrival, helped with our heavy bags up to the apartment, and provided lots of helpful advice on places to go to eat. Be sure to try out Amelia's for breakfast which is about 1 1/2 blocks away, but there are lots of other hidden gems as well. The place was perfect for our family of 4 including 2 young children. We stayed a week, but we could have stayed a month. Thanks Ines and Goncalo!
