Sofia’s apartment is in an ideal location in central Lisbon. Almost immediately below the apartment, which sits about halfway up the hill to the castle, is the stop for the famous #28 trolley, enabling a visitor to beat the crowds and lines that form by 9:00am. Many of the sights of the downtown are within walking distance, including the fado bars in Alfama. The underground light rail from the airport has a station quite nearby.
The clothes washer was welcome, although we wish we had brought clothespins for hanging our wash on the clothesline outside the bedroom window.
The bathroom is small, but includes a bathtub and shower with ready and ample hot water.
Sofia and her colleague Marta were very helpful in orienting us to the area and suggesting places to visit.
