The apartment is beautiful and the views are even more amazing!!!
The apartment looks out onto the Tagus river and you can see the boats. It is located in the historical Alfama district and there is an amazing viewpoint over Alfama just up the road.
The apartment is ideally located, and if you are exploring the city you can get tram 12/28 and get off at a stop nearby.
As the apartment is quite roomy, it can get a bit cold in winter, despite the panel heaters in the room.
Unfortunately, there are a few things which make this apartment less attractive. As the apartment is located near the castle, certain roads are inaccessible to taxis and thus we had to walk with our suitcases up the narrow roads to get to the apartment.
This apartment is managed by a company and thus you don't always deal directly with the host.
I had requested an early check in for my family and I which was agreed weeks before the trip. On the night before I received a message stating that they could no longer provide the early check-in. This led to further miscommunication and frustration which was ultimately fixed but could be avoided if things were managed better.
