We originally hoped to stay nearer to Alfama, but now appreciate this location. It was an easy 15-20 minute walk to Belem, even closer to LX restaurants and shops, yet easy access (cheap taxi or tram) to central Lisbon. This is a good location for those with a car (relatively easy access from the bridge and free street parking). Antonio gave an excellent intro to the area. Even though it is away from nightlife, there was still quite a bit of late street noise during our stay. Closed windows and ear plugs solve that, but with windows closed, a fan would have helped during our hot weather stay. Still, this is a good value and we would stay again.
