Location is a major plus. Two blocks from the praça do Comercio and the riverwalk, the Baixa-Chiado metro, and trafic-free Rua Aurea with its many restaurants, shops and bars, most with outdoor seating. With the balcony doors open, the apartment might seem noisy, but double- or triple-paned windows do a fabulous job of blocking all noise to ensure a good night’s sleep.
Other attractions within a short walk are the Convento de Carmo, the Fado Museum, the 12th century Sé de Lisboa cathedral, the castle. And if the metro can’t get you to where you want to go, the nearby buses will. The apartment is comfortable and the kitchen well appointed. A lovely place from which to explore Lisbon. And Sinan is a wonderful and most responsive host.
