Large well equipped flat, in the Alfama - the very quaint old part of Lisbon known for Fado restaurants, in fact open the window and you are treated to Fado from the restaurant opposite ! . The area is very hilly with cobbled stoned streets, the flat itself has no lift so I would suggest people with mobility issues would be better off elsewhere !. Flat shoes are a must- leave the heels at home !! **********
* Small shops for basic amenities are within steps, and 2 restaurants underneath the flat*
Location : 8 min walk to Santa Apolona Train station. 25 min walk to Rossio Stn (Sintra) Castelo Sao Jorge , 20 -25 mins.
* Taxi fare to the Airport around 13Euro in metered cab. *
*Lots of restaurants and bars within steps of the apartment. *
Accommodation : No lift, with steep staircase- so beware ! but its worth the climb !
Communication with Romauld and Nathalie was very good and they were most helpful.
