This is a great place to stay as it is situated right in the heart of the historic district, very close to everything - a variety of excellent restaurants are nearby, the castle is just up the hill, and a short walk (down several flight of steps) to Rossio square. It is in a pedestrian only area, so you do have to know where to walk to locate the apartment once dropped off by taxi. It is a bit up the hillside, so there will need to be some walking up and down steps, but this is what historic Lisbon is all about. A large supermarket (Pingo Doce) is only a few minutes walking distance, and that makes it real easy to stock up on food and supplies that one may need for a comfortable visit. (Hint: checkout the elevator at the supermarket for a shortcut route up to the castle.) The place is a well equipped small apartment with comfortable queen size bed located upstairs in a large loft area. It has a nicely equipped kitchen with a microwave and stove, refrigerator, and washer/dryer. Keep in mind that there is no air conditioning, but the hosts did provide a portable fan for use in the unit. The hosts are great and communications were quick and excellent. A really great option for experiencing all that Lisbon has to offer.
