The apartment location is excellent! It is across the street from the Santa Apolonia train station (we took the train to Porto) and many taxis are nearby. Hop on a city bus or double-decker tourism bus. Great cafes and restaurants downstairs or within 3-4 blocks. Try Maca Verde for local Portuguese seafood or the Pita Gourmet for excellent Greek fare. Turn the corner up the hill and you are in the Alfama neighborhood, Keep exploring uphill to shops in Santiago and over to the amazing sights and history of the Castelo de Sao Jorge.
