The apartment is right in the centre of the Alfama district (the oldest district in Lisbon). So you definitely feel like you’re one of the locals rather than staying in a commercial part of town.
There are lots of small restaurants and bars dotted around the area, many of which have fado on a daily basis. The castle is also close by at the top of the hill.
The Main Street with hustle and bustle close to this area is the Praça do Comercio which is around a 10-15 min walk (a very nice walk). From here we used the metro services around town and also the sightseeing buses.
The apartment itself is lovely - the downstairs has a lovely kitchen and seating area, whilst upstairs, the bed is very comfortable and the shower is great! Endless hot water!
I would definitely use again.
Communication was also great!
Many thanks Pedro and Sofia.
