This flat is in the middle of everything; it is probably the most convenient location in Lisbon, an easy walk to Alfama, Chiado, etc. with access to bus lines, tram, subway, many leaving from the Praça do Comérciol; we went all over the city, including Belem and the Museo Nacional del Azulejo (which is amazing for learning the history of tile production and design, and is housed in a beautiful former convent--highly recommended!!!). The location is definitely the best thing about this flat. It also has an elevator which starts on the first floor (meaning you need to climb one short flight of stairs from the entryway on the ground floor). The style of decoration is eclectic, mainly antiques, and the apartment itself is historic, with all the little quirks that come with an older building (doorknobs off kilter and so on--very charming but not modern). Be aware there is one step up into the kitchen from the hallway and also a step up into the main bathroom. The bedrooms are on opposite ends of the flat, so there is privacy, but both bathrooms are on one side. One of the bedrooms is accessed through the dining room. The half bath is off the kitchen, just opposite the door of a small room with a "child bed" (not a crib). JP supplied two cribs, one of which we used as a playpen in the living room; this was very convenient. In sum, Lisbon is an absolute gem of a city (we loved it!) and this flat is a great base from which to see it.
