If you want a stunning view, this place has it. Photos totally accurate. Ana and colleagues easy to work with.
A few notes:
*It was helpful to get a lesson on using the keys and working the entry hall lights when we checked in
*The apartment is at the top of Alfama/bottom of Graça. Sites like the Castle, many miradouros and the flea market are walkable. Just be aware that, as the tour books say, the streets in this area are steep and narrow, and shoes with good grip are essential as the cobblestones can be slick.
*Getting into town- Baixa, Chiado, Rossio, Saldanha- is 7-15 minutes by taxi or Uber, and costs 3-7 Euros. Taxis go by all the time. We found them easy to catch at either end of R. Do Sao Vicent. Either head left towards the church or right towards the little square near the kebab shop.
*The closest metro is Martin Moniz, about 15 minute walk north of the apartment. We did not find this convenient enough to use.
*To the south of the apartment is Alfama. To the Northwest towards Martim Moniz, an international/immigrant area. To the Northeast and East, Graça, where there are a half a dozen cute, neighborhood restaurants/coffee shops an easy walk from the apartment. Walk east down R. Do Sao Vicente towards the church, where the road does a little jog to the left, but stay on it with the church to your right. After you pass the church, stay left at the fork and all the restaurants will be ahead in the next few blocks on both the right and left. If you like mushrooms, try the darling little Santa Clara dos Cogumelos. The owner is charming and he spins jazz and other good vinyl while you dine.
Enjoy your stay in this lovely place!
