My husband, 1 yr old baby, and I stayed in this apartment for 5 nights in mid-February, and had a fantastic time! The apartment is very spacious and full of light. The furniture is all brand new, the appliances functional. Small details make it even better, like the rain shower head, and welcome kit including a bottle of wine! The owner also provided a travel cot and high chair, which was very convenient. We rented a stroller from the airport, which was easy to bring up the wide stairs to the apartment on the first floor.

The best part of the apartment was certainly the neighbourhood. You can walk to all the interesting neighbourhoods in the historic city centre such as Baixo, Chaido, Alfama & the Sao Jorge Castle, as well as Barrio Alto if you wander a little further. We even did most of the neighbourhoods with a stroller, so it can totally be done with a little one! You are also a stone's throw away from the tram to Belem and the train to Sintra. Walk a little further down some pedestrian streets, and along the water, and you will hit the train station to Cascais. Lots and lots of shops, restaurants, and 'snack bars' with delicious pastries close by!

I was initially concerned because this apartment is a full time rental and not someone's home, like other Air BnB apartments. But it did have all the conveniences, and definitely felt like home very quickly! Keep in mind though, it is a business, and they charge if you arrive or leave outside of office hours or are late.

The only drawback is that there is a hostel upstairs, and you could hear people coming in and talking loudly in the stairwell throughout the evening. This gave rise to some security concerns. Also, in the back bedroom you can hear water trickle down when the neighbours flush the toilet or shower, but this only happens a few times in the evening, so it didn't bother us after we fell asleep.

Overall, we loved the apartment, we loved Lisbon, and can't wait to visit again!
