For us, this was an opportunity to stay in the heart of Lisbon in a regular neighborhood. It proved an enjoyable, authentic experience. To get to the apartment we parked our car and found our way to Rue S. Paolo. On the north side of the street, about 30 meters from the Ascensor funicular, is a stairwell. You go up 88 steps, take a right down the walkway and the apartment will be on your left. The bath may be smallish, but the kitchen is very complete.
