This apartment is in great location, one of the most historic neighbourhoods of Lisbon that is bustling and full of character. Situated at the top of the hill just below the castle, you have amazing views - but do expect to do some energetic walking. Fortunately there are elevators nearby that you can use to get up and down and reduce the walking. If you use Uber to get to the apartment, be aware that they are not allowed to drive on the road where the apartment is located, so you'll have to drag your bags up the last 200 metres. Or otherwise take a taxi - they're allowed to drive on that road.
We really enjoyed all the amenities in the apartment. It's very spacious, has a three-piece bathroom in addition to the main bathroom, and fully equipped kitchen with washing machine and dishwasher. The living room is huge and has large windows that open up to a skinny balcony with beautiful views across Lisbon and to the river. We kept the living room and bedroom windows closed at night to keep street noise to a minimum, but in warmer months you may want to keep them open to get fresh air. In that case, you'll hear the occasional car driving by and tourists with their wheeled luggage clacking on the cobblestoned street.
The location is close to many great restaurants and has one of the best pastelarias just down the street. Our morning schedule included a stop for espresso and their award-winning pastel de nata (delicious custard tarts). Using the elevators you can also get to the popular Baixa and Bairro Alto districts very easily.
