Perfect location. The apartment is located adjacent to the old Lisbon area called Alfama. A full grocery store (with everything you need including wine, beer and liquor), pastry / coffee shop, restaurants, bars, shopping, tours, train station - everything - is located within walking distance. The Castle elevator is located within a 1 minute walk and then the Baixa Elevator is just across the street from the bottom of the Castle Elevator. These convenient elevators get you down from the hillside where the apartment is located saving you many, many stairs! VERY convenient.
Filipa is an excellent host. Upon arrival she greeted us at the front door and took us to the apartment going using the private building elevator. She offered excellent local area tips, restaurant and Fado recommendations, a city map - tips needed by a first time visitor to Lisbon. She was always quick to respond with any questions using the AirBNB app / email.
The apartment offers beautiful views of the city, Tagus river, Ponte 25 de Abril bridge, the Christ the King monument and more from the front balcony and the private elevated terrace in the back outdoor area of the apartment. We spent many an afternoon and evening up on the terrace enjoying wine, cheeses and a good book.
Great shower with lots of hot water and - a shower curtain! (many places we go in Europe do not have this simple luxury so water goes everywhere). The clothes washer came in handy although you have to air dry clothes - not difficult with all the warm Lisbon sun. The beds can be configured in a number of ways; we had them set up as 3 queens since there were one couple and two singles in our group. There is air conditioning in the living room, dining area and main bedroom. Each can be controlled individually and was welcome on hotter August days.
If you are visiting Lisbon don't pass this place up - it's a winner!
