As previous reviewers have said this is a superb apartment with one of the best views/locations in Alfama. The apartment is very spacious and sunny. It faces south east so the dining/living room gets sun from first thing in the morning right into the evening as there also is a window on the south western side. The journey from the airport is easy, takes about 50 minutes on metro. Take Red metro line from Airport to Sao Sebastiao, then change to blue line south and get off at the terminus, Santa Apolonia. 3 minute walk to apartment. The apartment is in a perfect spot on the eastern edge of Alfama, the street is lively with loads of bars and restaurants with a nice, local feel. As you walk further west it becomes much more touristy and busy. A trip by train (using the Viva Viagem travel card) to Sintra is a must, we only went to the weird and quirky Quinta da regaleira which was amazing. We caught the 8.41 train from Rossio. You will be pestered to take a taxi, etc. but the walk into the town is on a wide pavement, we're in our 60s and reasonably fit and it was fine. Took 25 minutes. A short steep walk from the apartment up to Mosteiro S. vicente de fora is well worth it. No crowds, 5 euros for adults/2.5 euros under 25s and glorious city views from the roof top. The castle a must too. Thank you very much Sofia for your wonderful apartment and excellent customer service/communication. Hope to return some day!
