Great location in the Alfama. We enjoyed walking up and down, and went walking downtown and to other neighborhoods from the apartment. The apartment is on a fourth floor with no elevator. Lots of great exercise. We liked that. But it is something to be aware if you cannot exercise much. Lisboa as the host put it is an open air gym. Their tips were very good and they left information (guide books, etc) in the apartment. I personally appreciated to have a nice view to enjoy in the late afternoon. They have air conditioning but we found we did not need it as we opened the windows. It is a very pretty place.
