We had a wonderful stay at Catherine's charming tree top apartment with a fabulous view of the Alfama area and out to the bay. It was a lovely, sunny and clean apartment with everything we needed to be comfortable for 5 days. With the windows open we could hear the birds (and a neighborhood rooster and a peacock from the Castle St. George; the old stone walls of the castle are visible from the back windows along with an orange tree-just lovely!) ) and the street life (which is not too loud even during the evenings) and with the new windows closed the apartment was very quiet. The only thing to be aware of is the 5 flights of stairs up to the apartment which is on the top floor with no elevator (but after all the steep streets in Lisbon, it's not so bad!). In addition the primary bedroom has sloped ceilings at each end so taller people need to take care and that bathroom is also on the small side but nicely equipped and new. We did not cook while there (so many restaurant/food options in Lisbon) but the kitchen seemed well equipped with small appliances including a microwave and mini dishwasher. It was so nice to come back to the apartment after a long day out in the city, relax and get a restful sleep. We can highly recommend a stay here.
