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.

CUSTOMER COMMENTS & REVIEWS
Alvaro Pereira (3 adults & 3 children, 8th - 16th August, 2010):
Ulrika Westman (3 adults, 21 - 28 July, 2010):
Location was perfect - I loved the area. The apartment had practically everything we needed and we especially appreciated the maps and info you had left for us.
I would definitely recommend the apartment to a friend that was going to Lisboa.
Joanna Goldman (4 adults, 7 - 9 May, 2010):
If i may, I'd like to give you just a couple of points of feedback ... not criticisms (i would never be so presumptious!!!) but just some things that you might want to consider since we were the first to ever stay in that apartment.
It might be a good idea to put another couple of more comfortable chairs/sofa in the lounge, it would have been great for all 4 of us to be able to all sit back and lounge around comfortably and chat. Also the shower head came off a couple of times ... but that may have been due to the awesome water pressure there! So impressed with that and with the fact that we never ran out of hot water!!!!
Thanks again to you and Ana Paula for making this possible and for the smooth "operation".
I will definitely be reccommending you to anyone looking for someplace to stay in Lisbon!!
Our reply:
Thanks for your kind comments Joanna - as you can see from the new photos and video, we have installed 2 more comfortable armchairs as per your suggestion. We have also had the shower head fixed. Thanks again!
