Tânia's apartment is located in a quiet, residential area in Alfama just off of a main street where there are many bars, restaurants and shops. It was a quick walk from the Santa Apolónia train station which allows easy access to Lisbon's metro and trains. Be mindful of the steep stairs to get to the unit, and note that the soundproofing of the building is not good. We could clearly hear every person who came into the building and in the other units. The bed was also quite squeaky, so we did not have a quiet sleep. We were very grateful that Tânia allowed us to drop our luggage before the check-in time, but were disappointed when we returned for check-in and the apartment was not cleaned. We had to wait another 2 hours for the cleaner for finish (which was tough after a long flight and there was no toilet paper or clean towels!). Overall, the apartment itself was smaller than anticipated but sufficient for our one night stay.
