Juan’s apartment had modern facilities with some antique designer touches. For example old tiles and a stained glass window in the bathroom. You are so close to the castle you feel as though you’re living in the walls. Indeed, the outside wall is exposed showing a sandstone colour and rough feel just like the castle. It’s a perfect spot to base yourself for touring Lisbon. The cobbles and alleys that Lisbon is famous for are all around you. Great restaurants and bars surround you. Ask Juan for some good local tips. He never steered me wrong. A supermarket is also very close to stock your own kitchen. A great place to stay.
