The apartment is located next to the Old Town district of Alfama, and just round the corner from the Santa Apolonia Metro & Train station.
This area has plenty of cafeterias, bars, traditional Fado restaurants, as well as the small village-type shops typical of Alfama.
In the Santa Apolonia station there is a "Pingo Doce" supermarket and just opposite the station there is a chemist's (pharmacy).
On the opposite side of the main road, next to the river, there is a large open-air carpark which charges just 4.95 euros per day.
The area is convenient for sight-seeing: you can easily walk to the central Praça do Comercio square in about 15 minutes, and the wonderful "miradouros" (viewpoints) of Alfama, like the Portas do Sol, and Miradouro Santa Luzia are just a 10 minute walk away. The majestic Panteão Nacional (National Pantheon) - where the famous Fado singer Amalia Rodrigues is buried - is just round the corner.

Our apartment was exactly as depicted and was well priced, clean and in an excellent location. Roger was waiting on our arrival, and was 'Johnny on the spot' when we had a query re the washing machine. Excellent value for money, and I would recomment the apartment to anyone travelling to Lisbon.

Natalia Zielinska (4 adults, 15 - 17 June, 2011):
Hello! I recommend this very comfortable apartmant placed in the historical part of Lisbon alfama as a good place to start visiting Lisbon. Very close to the metro station but also within the walking distance (8-10 mins) from the most popular parts of Lisbon (Baixa). Many restaurants around. Only the way leading to the apartment was steep (road and stairs) but apart from that everything was perfect. Very nice service!
Massimiliano Tarantino (5 adults, 11 - 14 June, 2011):

We loved our stay in Lisboa, and especially in the apartment. It was clean, well located (Alfama is such a great place to get lost in all the little streets and visit like this), very typical. For 4 people it was great, with a really nice and friendly hospitality. I was absolutely recommend this place to stay in Lisboa!

Rebecca Kemp (2 adults & 1 infant, 25 - 28 February, 2011):
My husband, myself and our one year old daughter stayed at this apartment for four days at the end of Feb 2011. The whole experience from start to finish was fantastic! Once our booking was confirmed, Roger stayed in touch by email and provided lots of information about Lisbon and how to transfer from the airport when we arrived. We were met at the apartment even though our flight landed late at night and were shown around the flat so we knew how everything worked. A travel cot was also provided for my daughter which was great. The accomodation was clean and well equiped and the location made it ideal for sight-seeing. We had a wonderful trip and the service provided by Roger and his team was faultless. I would totally recommend this apartment for those who wish to have a comfortable stay in Lisbon.
Paula Cristina Isidoro (2 adults & 1 baby, 18 - 20 February, 2011):
A casa é muito acolhedora e bem equipada.
Muito bem mobilada.
A localização também é excelente.
A única coisa a apontar é o estacionamento que é um pouco complicado.
Adoramos!!
