The apartment is very central, located just a short 5mn walk from Rossio and the historic centre of Lisbon. And although it's a short walk, it's a steep one as you have to climb the steps up towards the Castelo de S. Jorge in order to reach the apartment. So although it may not be suitable if you have infants or small children (or can't handle the climb), what you do get when you reach it is a great view of Lisbon from the living room and front-facing bedroom windows, across the bridge and out to the ocean. The apartment is on the 1st floor of an old building and has 2 decent sized bedrooms, each with a double bed. The kitchen, bathroom and amenities are all quite satisfactory but the flat is quite basic with a bit of a student feel to it, so if you're looking for luxury and beautiful decoration look elsewhere. However, if you're looking for a good-value, central, relatively comfortable base to explore Lisbon from and you are not afraid of the climb then this could be perfect. You wouldn't want to spend your days in the flat and it doesn't really lend itself to lounging around in but if it's just a place to sleep and maybe prepare a meal before you head out then this is a good option in a nice, quiet area of town.
