Just a few doors up from São Jorges castle, Castle Inn provides the historical experience of the Alfama neighborhood. We arrived early and were able to leave our luggage there until it was time to check in. We went to tour the castle until check in. Both Alexandria and Inês communicated with me clearly and timely before and during our stay. The apartment was extremely neat and clean. The kitchenette provided many niceties. The bathroom provided everything we needed. At check-out, the host even scheduled a cab to come pick us up.
If you choose to stay at Castle Inn, you need to know that it is a steep walk up from the riverfront or other areas. Taxis can drive you there on the narrow roads, but Uber cannot go into the historic area. We found we were tired from a day of site-seeing and even more tired after the hike home.
That being said, it was a wonderful place to come home to! I would higjly recommend the experience of staying at Castle Inn!
