If you want to stay in the Alfama district, this apartment is ideal. Café across the 'street', castle 15mins walk (up hill), lots of restaurants and little shops for provisions. The taxi dropped us at the top of the hill and there were no steps on the way down. It took about 50 mins. on the metro to return to the airport plus we used the steps to get down to the main road and then a walk to the Metro station.
