The newly-furnished appartment we had (Carlos has several in the same house)has large french windows and a great view overlooking the sea and the square in front of St Apolonia station and a military museum, is very nice, clean, modern, well-equipped and spacious. It is on the first floor and is located at the bottom of the Alfama old district, and so easily accessable using public transport, is also ideal for elderly people or those not particularly agile (some other places are accessable only via steep streets and steps) and is ideal for a family of four, two couples,(or even 4 singles if two of them don´t mind sharing a double-bed). Carlos and his wife were very nice and friendly to us and provided a welcoming treat of cold refreshments coffee and oranges. We arrived quite late- almost at midnight, and Carlos waited up to friendlily welcome us (some hosts demand a fee for late check-ins).
