This was a great base for our extended weekend in Lisbon (we are a couple without kids). Spacious, tastefully furnished and decorated, with a modern kitchen and 1.5 bathrooms. Check-in went smoothly with the help of the restaurant next door and the instructions of the host, who was always responsive, friendly and helpful via email. The bed (a large framed mattress on the floor) was very comfortable. Just be advised that the sleeping area (=upper level) has a pretty low ceiling, so mind your head! The greatest asset of the apartment is the terrace with its magnificent view of the Alfama and the Tejo. Lots of sun almost for the whole day - we loved it! The building is in very good shape and located in a beautiful and quiet part of the old town with some good eating and shopping options around. try Bistro Gato Pardo, for instance, and the Mini Market on the corner of Rua Escolas Gerais - friendliest shop assistant ever! It can be strenuous to climb the hill, but the 28 tram (a sight in itself) is just around the corner. We only missed two things during our stay: a table in the living room and a better radiator on the lower level. We had a bit of bad luck with the weather on the first two days and were glad about the blankets that were provided. But breakfast on the sunny terrace on the next day more than made up for the cold feet!
