We had a fantastic stay in Lisbon, our group of 8 found the apartment to perfectly suit our needs. All of us would return without hesitation.
We were staying in Lisbon to support one of our group who was participating in the Half-Ironman. The apartment was well located for easy travel around the city and near the metro to get out to further suburbs. One thing to note is that the apartment is on the 3rd floor of the building with relatively steep steps, so might be a challenge for those who are less steady on their feet.
The outdoor space was a real bonus and as the weather was warm we mostly used this area to socialise and eat. I am not sure that there can be many places with such a large space outside in the centre of Alfama.
Maria was an excellent host, who was incredibly responsive and helpful to us during our stay.
