We had a wonderful 10-day stay at this apartment in Alfama. Yes, there are 86 stairs to climb, but we were stronger by the end of the week, and you can't get around Lisbon without some climbing. Once up there, the view is wonderful, and it's quiet and private. It's very close to more restaurants than you'll have time to try, including many that offer fado. Close to the Castelo San Jorge, Fiera da Ladro on Tuesdays & Saturdays, the Pantheon, the Fado Museum, and Trolley 28. Easy to access the Metro & points further away -- or even walk! Very comfortable place to be, with a well-equipped kitchen, a hot shower that doesn't leak, and helpful recommendations! Jorge got us settled, and we had an excellent tour of Sintra with him, which gave us a chance to see more than we could have in a day without a car (Cabo da Roca & Cascais too). Also be sure to take a free walking tour with Chill-Out Free Walking Tours -- ours was fabulous! Look for it on-line.
