Hi - we are spending 2 or 3 nights each in both Porto and Lisbon this spring with our children 9 and 13.
Looking for recommendations for simple, safe, relatively peaceful, not expensive accommodation that would suit us for a short stay. Apartments or hotels.
Any personal recommendations really appreciated or suggestions of areas to stay in.
Many thanks!

hey hey Greenlane
what are your exact dates, spring is around the bend? many places have been booked months ago. it's spring break and easter time.
where are you flying from USA/Canada/Europe? if a long flight, be careful of jetlag, feeling woozy/tired next day. check in to hotels/apts are 2-4pm, check out is 10-11am. which doesn't give you much time, then repack and get to next stop. do you have transportation getting to porto from lisbon?
look at booking.com to see what's available, what amenities (A/C, elevator/lift, stairs.steps, cancellation policies, how many beds, list all in family) you have 4 people in your group and have no clue what your "not expensive" means. list your budget in euros.
i would be looking yesterday for accomodations, cheapest is not always best. pack light and make sure all can carry their own bags
good luck and have a great time
