For history buffs, and those who love water views, this is a fabulous location! The apartment is exactly as billed, with four heavy wooden doors as window shutters, two of which provide excellent views of the Rio Tejo. There are 69 steps from the street level to the apartment so one needs to be reasonably fit to stay here any length of time. Kiki and Phillipe are very accommodating managers, willing to help in any way needed. (We forgot a camera at the apartment. Kiki retrieved the camera after a conversation with our Obidos host, and delivered it to our host's friend in Lisbon for pick-up by our host.) The Metro is reasonably nearby, as is the Fado Museum, Fado cafes, the Pantheon, small shops, and other Alfama attractions. We were happy we chose this accommodation for our first visit to Lisbon.
