This apartment is perfectly located. We arrived via Metro from the bus station and easily walked the blocks to the apartment. Take your pick of restaurants, ice cream shops, and coffee/pastries in the morning. From this location we could wander the Alfama, catch the train to Sintra and the bus to Belem. We watched the full moon rise over the river -- just a block from the apartment. The apartment itself is lovely, large windows in each bedroom and in the living room, a well-appointed kitchen, although we mostly ate out.. too tempting. There is no air conditioning, but the available fans were sufficient. Yes, the sounds and energy of Lisbon are right outside the apartment, but this added to the experience of this vibrant city. I just shut my window at night and used the fan. If you are very sensitive, you could bring ear plugs. It took us a minute to figure out the washer/dryer, but we managed and appreciated its availability. Our host was easy to reach when we had questions, and check-in and out was a breeze. We would return for sure.
