The apartment is situated in one of the oldest districts of Lisbon, very close to the Castelo de Sao Jorge. It is on the second floor (so there are four short flights of stairs) and the sitting room and second bedroom overlook a small, picturesque, and lively square (largo). The view from the back rooms of the apartment is less exciting because they back onto the backs of apartments further up the hill. There is no access to the square for cars, so there is no through traffic to spoil the charm. The largo has three restaurants within it's confines and a couple of other little shops and there is a supermarket a short walk away, along the Beco (alley) das Farhinas and R. Sao Cristovao, near an elevator up to the Castelo de S. Jorge. The apartment is perfectly situated to explore this ancient part of the city. Bernardo was incredibly helpful, and warm and charming to boot.
