The room itself was great. Beautiful view of the city and the Tagus. Really quiet location. Only problem I would note is that it is VERY hilly (even for Lisbon!). For most people that would be fine, but my wife was pregnant and that complicated things a bit. It was pretty difficult for her to trek up all those hills. If you don't have mobility restrictions, it is the perfect location.

We actually booked at one of Paolo's other apartments. When we got there we were told it wasn't ready--we were given the choice to wait for the cleaner to arrive or go to this apartment. We went to the castle apartment. This did take up a considerable amount of time, and we were not reimbursed fully for being in a cheaper room. But Paolo was kind and helpful in directing not us to the new apartment, helping us park our car, and showing us a map of the area.
