This apartment is located in the Alfama district, which is picturesque and seemingly out of a movie set. There is plenty to see and do in the neighborhood and once you get used to the maze you can access so much of the city easily from where you're staying. Please keep in mind that there are steep stairs to the apt., but just one flight. I highly recommend not being bogged down with too much luggage. Since you're in the heart of Alfama, there will always be the hustle and bustle of tourists and locals alike at all hours. So, if you're into the authenticity and adventure, I would recommend this place.
