This was our first time in Lisbon, and we loved every single day we were there.

We arrived there at night, and we were greeted at the airport by Susanna's niece, Ines (we made prior arrangements). Such a lovely lady. Showed us all the interesting places as we drove to Alfama. We were greeted by Susanna at the house and she was also a nice lady, very warm, down to earth and funny. We went there with our 1 year old daughter, so Susanna was kind enough to make a little place for my daughter to sleep on and even prepared proper linens etc. She was easy to contact.

This house is PERFECT! Great location, nice size for the 2 of us, clean, tastefully decorated. There's no tv (which was good, we were on vacation!), so we just popped in our iPhone and turned on to a local radio station that plays Fado music...made us feel like a local. You can easily get food around the area. It is very close to the tourist viewpoint where you can see the whole of Alfama from there (you can see the viewpoint from the living area while you seat on the sofa).
You get different views from different windows, they are just so breathtaking!
There are a few restaurants and pastry shops along the small lane to the house.

We must say that the walk up the hill to the house from the main road is rather steep, but it shouldn't be a problem if you are fit. Also, the house is on the 2nd-3rd(ish) floor, you need to brace yourself for a walk up to the high staircase to get to the house. However, we didn't mind.

Would love to stay here again if we ever go back to Lisbon.
