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.

NOTE: This is a 2nd floor apartment in an old traditional area of central Lisbon, where the buildings don't have lifts/elevators and is therefore not suitable for wheelchair users or guests with mobility problems.

"Lisbon Living"
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.

"highly recommended"
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!

Rebecca Kemp (2 adults & 1 infant, 25 - 28 February, 2011):

Great Central Location!
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.

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!!

We loved it!

Jane Pickersgill (2 adults & 2 children, 25 - 31 October, 2010):

Hi Roger, We just stepped out of the taxi and was it Kirsten was right behind us-which was fantastic timing.She took us up and the apartment was just as the website showed.The use of space was well designed and the boys loved sitting at the table for breakfast.The additions of the ironing board/iron/hairdryer was great touches,but maybe mention them on your website.The fact that there was washing up liquid/shower gel etc was brilliant.The information about the supermarket,restaurants etc was really helpful.We loved the closeness of the station and the pingo doce was amazing for all our picnics and provisions.Because the location was so ideal and the apartment so lovely we are looking to come back and stay with you in the future,it was our 1st time in Lisbon and its a beautiful place.Many of our friends have asked us what we thought and we said we would thoroughly recommend you to them if they come to Lisbon.We believe in treating any place we stay in well,and leaving it as we would like it left-if it was ours.But Thanks for your kind comments about leaving it neat.We will be in touch about rebooking with you possibly for June 2011.Regards Jane.

About the city, about the parking, nearest shops! He really was ready to help us with everything, as real friend. We felt safe and comfortable there. We recall about this apartment, about the city with warmth. We really didn't want to leave. Roger, thank you very much for your attention!
