The apartment is in a great location for old Alfama. A few minutes from Santa Apolonia station and Metro, a simple ride from the airport or train. Local food is available from multiple small restaurants. Local shops likewise. The heart of the city is a few minutes by Metro or a gentle 20-30 minute walk around the hills if you don’t get distracted by the sights Mind your head if you are 2m tall like me! In essence the apartment is as advertised. The steps are steep!
