If you want to experience Lisbon's Alfama neighborhood this is a good place to stay. Not real fancy but has most of the amenities you will require. Shops, restaurants and bars are all a few steps away. Watch out for the steep stairs up to the apartment. They may be difficult for the elderly with luggage. Also, tell taxis/Uber that your pickup/destination is Remedios 197 (not 153) or they will drop you at the bottom of the hill. Enjoy Lisbon. Most world travelers that I know, just love it.
