Great location and walkable to almost everything. It’s also a short walk from Rossi train station or Restauradores metro stop. We walked to the Alfama, Baixa, Bairro Aalto districts and even walked to Belém although that was a fairly long trek.
Communication with our hosts was always quick.
Great Asian grocery store at the bottom of the stairs where we picked up fruit, bread, juice etc for breakfasts and snacks. Highly recommend Everest Montanha Nepali/Indian restaurant just down the street after the first set of stairs. Great for vegetarians as well as omnivores!
We had a good workout with the stairs leading up to the apartment. Good way to work off the gelato and pastais de nata that we ate! Note that you can take a more gradual route using some side roads.
Good hot water and water pressure in the shower and we used the washing machine in the kitchen (no dryer but the drying rack worked for us).
Although it’s close to many interesting areas, we had no problems with noise or sleeping.
