The apartment is fantastic - bright, clean, open and wonderful space to relax and unwind. The local facilities are literally on the doorstep and within a 20 minute walk you can be in the Alfama district. The area that the apartment is located in is close to great restaurants, patisseries (with amazing pasta de nata and other Portuguese delights). The apartment is located on a typical residential street and whilst it may look small on the outside - behind the door is a large welcoming space with every resource that you may need. Some people wrote about the steps to the top floor - yes - this is the case - you have to climb the steps - but in reality unless you struggle with the physical aspect of this - it's all part of living like a local - which is the main advantage of using this site. We would definitely visit again and stay in exactly the same place. We were supported by the wonderful Joana - our host locally - who was incredibly supportive - helping us to navigate our way to the best places and organising our return taxi to the airport. The best short break we have experienced!
