Castle Inn Lisbon Apartments

  : The principal attraction or asset is the location, within the walls of the Castle Sao Jorge. The apartment itself was a good size for two people and conveniently located near restaurants, bars and cafes, a grocery store and the castle itself. There was a small bar fridge and several appliances which could be used for basic self-catering. Overall the apartment was light and airy. It was a pleasant place from which to base oneself for exploring the Castle and, of course, the city and environs of Lisbon itself. The communication with management was excellent and they even arranged for a taxi from our door at the end of our stay, saving us from having to manage our luggage over the heavily cobbled streets to the main transport area just outside the castle walls.
  : The floor was dirty and should have been vacuumed or swept before our arrival. Our bare feet were literally blackened after a short time walking around and thereafter we always wore socks or shoes/sandals. Inside the apartment main living space there was an angled structure (like the coverings around a flight of stairs) from the middle of the ceiling to one of the walls/window which meant I was forever mindful of not bumping my head when moving around. Although there were the usual kitchen appliances in the food prep area, there were two (?) power points and these were awkwardly placed and tested the limits of some power cord lengths. A lot of the small bench space was taken up by a microwave oven and various promotional items which you could buy. Similarly, the small bar fridge also lost space to yet more promotional food and drink products for sale which were of no interest to us. As with every place we stayed in during our trip, the pillows were too soft - but this is an admittedly personal preference.
