The apartment is right across the street from Santa Clara, so you have a beautiful view of the structure and cobbled stone street when you walk out the door. The district is Alfama (oldest district in Lisbon) and there is a swimming pool just a 2-minute walk down the street. The rest of the neighborhood is filled with restaurants and little grocery stores. There is also a bookstore and pharmacy at the bottom of the street. You can experience wonderful local singers of traditional Portuguese music at Fado. Isabelle and Cesar are a great team. Isabelle will pick you up and drop you off at the airport if needed and for the rest of the time Cesar will be there if you need anything or have questions about the apartment. He is also a great person to talk to in general and willing to help. The window in the picture offers a great view of little red roofs and in the far distance one can see the ocean and the many beautiful cruise ships that make their stop there. And don't forget to ask Cesar where the best pizza is!
