Amazing Castle Views in Historic Center

I had a great stay at this charming apartment which served as an excellent base camp for my first visit to Lisbon. The property is on the 3rd floor so be prepared for the stairs but you’ll have great views across to the castle area from the living room and attic plus a small balcony to enjoy the sunshine and buzz of the area from too. It has pretty much everything you'd need for a short stay including a Nespresso machine as well as a moka espresso pot for that essential coffee fix. The area has a certain charm with mini markets/shops and a café (Kossie's) very close by but for much wider choice I'd recommend looking slightly further afield. Supermarkets and other shops can be found only a short walk away, downhill to the Martim Moniz area or uphill to lovely Graça where there's a wonderful bakery (Padaria Estrela da Graça) and the best supermarket (Pingo Doce) both of which I highly recommend. Restaurants and cafés can also be found here too as well as a couple of Miradouros (da Graça and da Senhora da Monte) to enjoy the spectacular views of the city. Alfama, Rossio and downtown are also only a short walk away so overall I found this a great place to stay and I enjoyed living like a local for my time there.
