The location of this apartment could not be better to enjoy a traditional Portuguese lodging in the old town area of Alfama. The place is nicely decorated and clean with all amenities that are necessary provided. We arrived later than expected due to a two hour immigration line at the airport so our host did not have time to give a full orientation of the flat. We, therefore, did not know how to access the heat so the flat was chilly in the morning and evening. There is a café for coffee and sweet rolls 25 feet from the front door. They do not open until 9 AM and the staff was rather unfriendly, but the location so close by was nice. The castle entrance is also less than a two minute walk. Please note that this apartment sits near the castle, on the top of the hill — requiring a steep walk up from the city center. This is the best place if you wish to experience the old world of Portugal. We loved it.
