The locations is excellent. The apartment is in La Alfama, you will be walking distance from Santa Apolonia or Terreiro do Paço Metro stations and close to the train stations that will take you to long trips (Coimbra / Porto, etc) or shorter rides to Sintra and Cascais. It is not the most quiet or silence area in town. Because the streets are narrow and feel like alleys you will be aware of people passing, parting and having a great time. YET! that would be your situation as well, so I imagine that it will be good for few weeks. The small street where the apartment is, Beco do Pocinho is easy to miss because it is an alley, really. However, it is very close to the Museo do Fado, a land mark that will allow you to always find your way if you get disoriented. Bruno and Daniela, our hosts, were really wonderful,. helpful and always ready and willing to assist us in anything we may have needed
