The location of Rita's place is outstanding. It's located next to the Baixa and Chiado neighborhoods with lots of good restaurants within a 5 minute walk. It's also less than a 5 minute walk to the Rossio Train station where we caught the train to Sintra for a day trip. You can't ask for an easier walk. The apartment is located on a small hill so expect a few stairs and it's also on the fifth floor of the apartment building so a few more stairs but the view the windows makes it worth it. They also have maps in the apartment of various attractions which I utilized for my trip to Sintra. All in all a great apartment.
