The location is a perfect balance of easy walking to lively parts of the city, but quiet enough for sleep. There are hip bars and cool restaurants just a couple of minutes walk away. A few minutes more and you're in the old town, and even the railway station for trips to Sintra is just down a "few" steps. After a long day up and down the city streets, the apartment provides a great retreat to enjoy a bottle of superb wine with views to the castle as the sun sets. Loved it.
