Beautiful apartment. While it is decorated in a modern style, the features of the old convent are evident. On opening the front door, the entrance hall makes a fabulous statement and gives the impression of spaciousness and light.
Marcia was one of the best hosts we have ever dealt with. Prior to arrival she sent us clear instructions for check in and allowed us to check in early. She even sent us video instructions so there was no confusion. She responded immediately to all of our queries and could not have been more helpful.
The location is about a 10 min. walk from Santa Apolonia train where you can also get buses into the city centre. Alfama is within walking distance. There is a bus stop at the end of the road where you can get off when returning to apartment. Bus no. 759 or 735 seemed to be the most frequent. The street leading from the station looks a bit shabby but we had no problems walking it at night. There’s also a great free bike tour from this street. Highly recommend.
