The apartment is located in Alfama. It is an old trendy neighborhood in Lisbon near the river. The neighborhood is within walking distance of shops, restaurants and great attractions. Public transportation including metro, buses and trams are within walking distance. Small shops selling fruit, cereal, water and other cleaning items are near the apartment. Take comfortable shoes as you will do a lot of walking on the city. The apartment has great views . Don’t take large luggage as the apartment is located on a hill and you will need to drag luggage. The hosts were wonderful. Wonderful communication and fantastic recommendations.
