The neighborhood is excellent; close to metro, tram 28, tram 15, to river, to Alfama etc - from 5 to 20 min leisurely walk. A short walk to Cais do Sodre for Belem trip; a short walk to Rossio for Sintra trip. Our host was late by 30 min to the apartment to pass the keys etc - "fortunately", our flight was also late by 30 min so we did not wait on the street by the apartment. We were given a short description of neighborhood - shops, restaurants, transportation etc in writing, that was very handy.
