We had a very good time in Lisbon, the apartment was cheap, with good location, the neighborhood feels like a "normal" neighborhood with many small nice grocery stores.

The apartment looks better in reality than on the pictures and Catia and Isaura are nice and willing to help out.

I went in November and the floor was very cold in the evening, this is a typical southern problem because their buildings are not really well constructed for cold weather. There was a electrical heater, but a cold concrete floor with tiles is a cold floor.

I like to cook so maybe I could have used an oven, knives and a cutting board. This equipment was not there so I felt somewhat limited in the kitchen. The pans and pots were pretty low quality, most with curved bottoms. At the price I think the kitchen is ok equipped though, even with a little Nespresso-like coffee machine.

In summary I think this is a great apartment for two people that want to live in a quiet authentic neighborhood close to the beautiful and intriguing streets of Alfama. Who want a nicely decorated decent apartment, but don't expect high end facilities like big screen TV, stereo, oven or other more elaborate equipment.
