We stayed in the apartment for a week. From the moment I first inquired until checkout Alex and Joane were 100% responsive to any question or call for help. (In addition to arranging a car service to pick us up at our midnight arrival Joane was there to greet us, calling my name as if we were old friends. That was special.)
While you are on top of a hill with amazing views up to the castle and down to the river you are only 1 block uphill from where you can get off the closest bus (28) making for easy transportation. We also took the 734 and 735 busses (also easy walk to apartment) and we took the subway to Martim Moniz (that was a steep walk up). We also walked to the castle, to the Alfama neighborhood, and to the Rossio neighborhood.
The porch is the highlight of the interior. The kitchen is lovely and very well equipped. There are two stools but mostly you’ll be sitting on the porch. The living room has a large couch and a desk/work area. The bedroom has a queen bed and two night tables with lamps and a clothing rack. The bathroom is small but well setup with an excellent shower.
There are several good restaurants within a few blocks as well as banks, groceries,and many other shops.
