Our host was very helpful, sending lots information about the apartment and the locality prior to our stay. The listing was accurate although we were surprised that there was no safety rail on the steps leading up to bed on the mezzanine floor. The locality is brilliant. Alfama is the must place to stay in Lisbon, and has to be one of the most interesting areas of the city. It is possible to walk from the apartment to shops, restaurant, cafes, all the local sites. It is a 15 to 20 minute walk into the centre of the Lisbon. If you want to travel further then there is the metro, train and buses close by. You will be delighted be the friendliness of the local people and their willingness to help if you need it.
