Thanks to Mariafor helping so much. She is a wonderful host - waited for me after taxi dropped me at wrong place and delayed my arrival, on top of letting me check in a few hours early AND helped booked my taxi as the number I had did not speak English. The flat good because 1) convenient - 5 minute walk southeast to Apolonia metro station (end of blue line) 2) take a few steps down the hill to Rua dos Remedios, turn right and walk small fruit and convenience stores west on Rua dos Remedio; walk 10 mins to restaurants, Fado Museum, and maze of streets to explore (keep walking, is ok to get lost!) for Fado bars at night and undeveloped historical areas, such as the Jewish quarter 3) On deadend side street, Travasse dos Remedios, so its a quieter 4) fully equipped (complete with hair drier, which few airbnb places have; it's also the cleanest apartment I've been to! )
Very comfortable bed. The place is cosy, with decent views - 1/2 window view of Targus river one side, roof of Panteo Nacional out the back if u lean out window. It's on 3rd floor up narrow staircase, typical Alfama apt., so be careful with big heavy luggage. Will return!
