The biggest attraction of this apartment is its location at the top of what André calls the eighth hill of Lisbon, only a few steps from the Sé and across from the Miradour Santa Luzía. The photos don’t do the view justice; it’s truly spectacular. It was clean and well provisioned, and André told us interesting stories about the family’s history—they have owned the building for a long time, and and his father started the delicious restaurant on the ground floor in the 1970s.
There are a LOT of very steep stairs to climb. The apartment doesn’t have a lot of space but you probably will want to be out and about so that shouldn’t be a problem. The beds were not the most comfortable we’ve had. No air conditioning so prepare to sleep with open windows—earplugs are provided—and the blinds don’t block all the light.
