The apartment is a great size for two people and in a great location. The Alfama district is lovely with many historical sites and monuments as well as shops and cafes all nearby. We had a car but with Ana's help found some public parking for 10€ a day that was about 10-15 minutes from the apartment. There are a lots of steep hills in some places, so prepare to get some cardio workouts in and bring comfortable shoes and clothes! The castle is worth the entry fee to spend a few hours, and be sure to catch a Fado performance!
