After two weeks in Lisbon, we have come to realize that this apartment was just about perfect location for exploring the city. You have Tram 28 right outside the door. Alfama is about 5-10 minutes walk, aor you can take two elevator rides and you'll be there in few minutes. You can easily walk to Bairro Alto for some amazing restaurants or bar scene, 10 minutes in other direction. From the apartment itself you can actually view Praca do Comercio and it's a nice place to go for a walk in the afternoon or early morning.
Apartment is super spacious, and it worked great for us during partial lockdown where my daughter was still in school remotely and I had to work few days as well. The building is really really old but apartment has new modern windows so it's easy to control the temperature inside, as well as keep the street noise down if it bothers you. I suggest opening everything up...Interior room doors are hard to close because building is so old. Furniture is nice and beds were super comfy.
Small kitchen but why bother cooking when you have abundance of great food choices anywhere you go.
If you are craving a good hearty home-style meal, a little place across Rua da Prata is excellent choice. You can see it from the balcony. They have meals of the day for 8 Euro which includes a meal, drink (beer and wine included) and coffee. Family-run place and you can't go wrong. You also must try 'Bifana' - walk up Rua da Prata and take the public elevator up...soon as you walk out Bifana do Afonso is right there...great quick bite with small beer. Grocery store, Pingo doce, is right around the corner there as well if you need some basics.
We really enjoyed the apartment, its location and JP was great host with many helpful local tips that made our stay that much more enjoyable. Well worth it.
