Paulo was very helpful upon our arrival. He offered us a map & an E-map and showed us a place he recommends to eat. This unit is in a somewhat run-down residential area, (very Lisbon) with a lot of character. It is just steps away from the St Jorge Castle ticket office & entrance. The castle is not visible from the west window, but the view out the east window is interesting and you can see a piece of the river. The steps up to our unit were a steep 2 flights & we could hear the steps when others came in & went out. With the windows open for temperature control, the sounds varied from distant musical entertainers in a "plaza" below to other less pleasant noises like a dog that barked at anytime he pleased through the night & people conversing in the streets. The place was small yet sufficient, but the mattress made us feel we were on a slant and could only be exited at the foot due to walls.
The bathroom is very small with a shower which allows little to no lateral movement of your feet while bathing.
There are some elevators nearby which will make returning to the apartment much much less work, but you have to find them. You can walk all the way to the Hard Rock Cafe or the Plaza Restauradores in about 20 minutes if you don't get lost.
