My favorite things: The balcony is lovely, and has an incredible view. And the location is super convenient - it's just a couple minute walk to Rossio station, where you can get the train to Sintra for the day. It's a ~ten minute walk down to the water. We ate at a great restaurant just down the street that was very popular. (Not the ones directly downstairs, but on the southern end of the block.) Carmo Convent is just a couple minutes away, too. FYI there's no dryer - folks dry their clothes outside!
