So let me start out by saying that Ana is a great host. She brought over blankets when I asked and she went out of her way to make me feel comfortable. The apartment is in the Alfama neighborhood, which is right on the water and about a 5 min. walk from the Apalonia metro station. You can walk to the city center and get to anywhere in the city via public transportation. With that being said, you should know that Lisbon is a beautiful city with many hills and stairs. And this apartment sits a the top of 60--yes--60 stairs. The apartment is small but cozy. The apartment's proximity to all the attractions and public transportation more than makeup for the size.
