This apartment is in a great location in the old Alfama district and you can walk to all the other main central areas of interest. Check them out because they each have their own character. We had the luxury of a week stay so would recommend taking the train up to Sintra and also to Cascais on the coast (different days) The apartment is 15 mins walk from Rossio and 10 mins from Cais do Sodre stations for each trip respectively and public transport is frequent and efficient. The balcony was a good place for sipping a cup of coffee watching the water and all the ships coming through, as well as catching some sun on your face. Plenty of eating out options nearby. David and Zoriana have used the top floor space well and provide a great home base for your trip. They answered questions very quickly for us and we would recommend the apartment for a short city break or a longer visit such as ours.
