This is a really nice apartment and Susanna was a great host. We texted the time we would arrive and she was there to meet us and helped my wife carry her heavy bag up and down the steps. She is very friendly and helped us plan our stay in Lisboa. The apartment has all you need for a great stay including a comfortable bed, bathrooms upstairs and down, and a nice view of the Alfama neighborhood and the Rio Tejo (and the cruise ships). This is the same view as Miradouros, just above, considered one of the best views in Lisboa. It is proximate to all you will want to see in this city. However, it should be noted that there are a lot of steps involved in staying here and a car is out of the question. In fact, the entire city is hilly and requires a certain degree of fitness. Taxis were on strike when we arrived and getting to the apartment any other way is very difficult (Metro, buses, dragging bags). We were lucky when we left and caught a taxi as he dropped someone off. Otherwise, I don't know how long we would have waited for a taxi in that location. Transportation aside, we had a really nice time here. Terrific restaurants and fado nearby. It is also worth noting that the neighborhood is very quiet in the morning with the only sound of the bells from a nearby church. A couple of problems occurred during our stay: leaky toilet (which couldn't be addressed until after we left) and faulty coffee pot (which Susanna replaced as soon as she could). All understandable. I would certainly stay here again if I returned to Lisboa.
