This apartment is a great home base for a stay in Lisbon! It's in a very historic and charming area high atop the hill and literally steps from the Castelo. There are restaurants and shops very close by, too. It is a very steep hill so walking home from downtown is only for the very fit or masochistic. There is a bus that comes close, but it stops running in the evening. Ubers and cabs can get you pretty close but not to the doorstep. There's a lot of hustle and bustle around the apartment during the day, including crying peacocks and a school next door that apparently only accepts screaming children, as they come out into the courtyard every hour or two and just stand there and scream. So afternoon naps are a challenge! But it gets quiet at night so it's not a huge deal . The interior of the place is clean and comfortable with everything you need for a stay.
