Sofia's apartment, with excellent security, is on the second floor of a renovated building overlooking the Tagus River. Immediately in front of the building there is ongoing construction of an underground car park. Fortunately the apartment has double glazed windows which are effective. Don't be put off......the positives far outweigh this temporary situation.
The apartment is in Alfama, the oldest district of Lisbon. Its maze of narrow streets wind their way up to some of Lisbon's most historically important buildings. It is also close to the centre of Lisbon and the promenade along the Rive Tagus. In short a great position.
The apartment has all the amenities we needed for our 10 nights in Lisbon. A well fitted out kitchen, a washer/dryer, a very comfortable bed and plenty of hanging space and storage. Our host Sofia spent time with us on arrival familiarizing us with the apartment's features and was very helpful answering all our questions. It was a perfect base from which to explore and experience Lisbon. Highly recommended.
