Guest comments
Sine Brown (2 adults, 26 - 30 October, 2009):
We really loved the apartment, thank you. The location is great - close to the train, metro and a taxi rank, as well as a supermarket. The apartment itself is great, modern, very light and airy with nice views. Also everything is in excellent condition and there was nothing that we found wanting (having a dishwasher was a real bonus!).
Alessandro Sicoli (2 adults, 16 - 19 October, 2009):
Thank you for everything. We will recommend your houses in Lisbon to all our friends. Best regards, Alessandro and Antonella.

Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We bought these properties in the neighbourhood of Alfama because we love this old, traditional historic area of Lisbon, with it's cobbled streets, fado restaurants, small squares and alleys, and traditional cafeterias and taverns. We also valued very highly the fact that the apartments are just round the corner from the Santa Apolonia Metro and Train Station, which provides excellent transport facilities to the rest of the city, or even to outlying areas such as Cascais, Estoril or Sintra. Lastly, and what really persuaded us, is that the apartments have truly magnificent views over the River Tagus.
Unique benefits of the property
You can really feel at home in these apartments. Although Lisbon is a truly beautiful city, some days you'll want to simply stay at home here enjoying the amazing views. You can sit for hours just watching the boats and ships sail by, from cruise liners, to war ships, to sail boats. The sunlight comes streaming in through the large windows, making these apartments a wonderful place to stay. And the location simply couldn't be better - in Lisbon's historic district close to all the major sights, and just 2 minutes walk from an underground and train station should you wish to go further afield.
