We were met by Andre who got us in and gave us a brief of the area (Isabel was out of town). The unit was roomy and new with 2 & 1/2 baths. Washer/Dryer works great once we figured it out (Googled operator's manual). After a couple days of sight seeing we all agreed that the location was ideal - on the edge of the Alfama but only a couple block s from Placa Do Comercio and it had an interesting city view from the balcony. It was also blessed with one of the best apartment elevators I have ever experienced n in Europe. Tram 28 (great ride early in the AM) stop was 2 blocks away and it was an easy walk to metro Baixa-Chado or Santa Apolonia (flat except of one block up hill from either metro) . 1 1/2 blocks up hill from the unit was a terrific family restaurant Velha Gaiteira, Rua das Pedras Negras, No. 17. Beverage (beer/wine/water/soda), entree, plat principal, desert and coffee was 9 euros. www.facebook.com/avelhagaiteira .
Suggestion going to Belem - take the train from Cais do Sordre terminal and skip tram 15. Tram was over crowded, long wait to get on and then stopped at terminal half way there so you had to get off and go through the wait and long line boarding process AGAIN. Also suggest train from Santa Apolonia to Oriente if you have a metro pass. Much faster and easier than using metro Blue, Green and Red.
