The apartment is very clean and comfortable, safe and secure and has all you need for self-catering. It is located in an area within a 5 minute walk to a main street of banks, shops, a supermarket, pastry shops and restaurants and is just on the top edge of the picturesque Alfama area. Walking the steep, cobbled streets could be difficult for some people who are not good walkers but we enjoyed the excitement of exploring winding streets and lanes and using the trams. The metro is about 10 minutes walk away. The street is quiet at night and we slept well. Communication with Maria was excellent and she is a very helpful host. There is a lot of graffiti on walls and houses but this seemed typical of Lisbon. There are many buildings with the traditional tiles in this street and throughout the area. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this apartment and Lisbon is a vibrant and interesting city to visit.
