The apartment was in a great location - Alfama is lovely and it wasn't too busy or touristy. There was more than enough space for 4 of us, and it was mostly quiet. It was clean and light and airy. We normally stay in hotels or b&bs and one of the things we liked about staying in the apartment is that it felt like you were part of the city and it's nice to have the independence to come and go whenever you want. We were able to check out late on the last day which was nice of the owners, as it saved us dragging our bags round all day!
We couldn't get the oven to work, but didn't ask about this as we didn't try it until our last night, so it may just have been us not knowing how to use it properly.
