The apartment is as described and offers an amazing view of the city from it's small enclosed balcony. The apartment is clean and provides everything required for an enjoyable stay. Although the long steep walk to the apartment from the Rossio metro station is daunting if you have a lot of luggage, as long as you are prepared for this, the view from the balcony is rewarding. We found the location just fine with easy access to metro stations and only 15 to 20 minute walk to the river. Lots of shopping near by and the street at the base of the street stairs is a fun and vibrant pedestrian only street with musicians and many restaurants.
