This is a quaint place right in the heart of Alfama. You can easily walk to downtown if you choose as well as the tram, buses and the metro (Station Santa Apalonia) which can take you to any connection you need to travel throughout Lisbon or Portugal. There are numerous local family restaurants within 5-10 minutes from the apartment that are affordable with Fado entertainment most nights. If you want a very good high end dining experience you need you go downtown, the Rib & Wine is fantastic for a meal or a quiet lounging experience. The apartment itself has all you would need, just be aware that it is damp and use the humidifier that is provided to make it cozier. Take a small walk to the local flea market (Mercado de Santa Clara) that has local crafts and other stuff. Overall I would recommend this apartment for it's location if you love walking and don't mind an old style environment and the amenities that you would need are provided.
