We loved this place for many reasons. José Luís is a wonderful host. Warm, quickly responsive, informative. The apartment is a 30 minute walk from the castle, faster by public transportation. It is a 5-10 minute walk from the metro/subway which is right near TimeOut restaurant market, and just 3 minutes walk from a bus that goes into the town center or out to Belem and the many museums there. Also, apartment walking distance from great restaurants. Try Taberna Ideal for delicious meals. It is a four story walk up (that's five for Americans since we count the ground floor as floor 1 not 0). The place is very quiet, except for some night time noise from a restaurant below, but it quiets down at a reasonable hour. Very reliable wifi. Kitchen has good appliances and tools, few spices or supplies so bring your own. A market is within easy walking distance. Buy the Lisboa card at the airport. It provides free metro and bus rides and discounts to museums. Well worth it. Enjoy! We will happily return to this apartment again. It is a wonderful base and home from which to explore this great city.
