Fantastic location in this great old neighborhood.. The only neighborhood to survive the 1755 earthquake!! Easy self check in. We knew it was upstairs but didn't realize how many stairs.. Just a warning if that might be an issue. There are 69 steps up to the flat. But I did not think they were narrow....plenty of room. The flat was very clean and spacious with the fantastic view. We would sit at the counter nook overlooking the bay and have cocktails. We were able to walk to everything we needed...The castle(15min), The Hard Rock cafe(20min) to meet a tour to Sintra and Cascais. Santa Apolonia train station(10min). The Sintra tour was great and if you enjoy food tours you must do Ruthy's which is on Airbnb. Ruthy's meets about a 10 min walk from the flat and strolls the streets of Alfama with 5 or 6 stops for food and drink..Fantastic!!! We had a great time in this lovely City!! Thanks Lucie
