Susana's apartment in Lisbon was amazing! It was in a perfect location to experience the wonderful Alfama neighborhood, but close enough to public transportation to easily get to other parts of the city and was in walking distance to castle Jorge. The apartment itself was well stocked and had everything needed to cook or reheat food as well as nice dishes, towels and everything we needed. I can't overstate how beautiful the apartment is with the sofa's facing the balcony. Most nights, while trying to sort out what to do after a night of partying, bar hopping or site seeing we just decided to come back to the apartment with a bottle of wine and enjoy the environment from the balcony. The view is astounding (the pictures here really don't do it justice) and the nearby church had a carilon that would play melodies occasionally. There seemed to be a perpetual party happening below that was fun to move in and out of and having a close base of operations to it was great as we could get away from it and shut it out as needed. As a host, Susana was incredibly accommodating and sent us recommendations for nearby restaurants, day trips and sites to check out. She also had a number of Lisbon guide books in the apartment. She also helped us with a taxi on our way out. One thing to keep in mind, the neighborhood it's in is VERY hilly with a lot of stairs so you need to be in good enough shape to handle it as it might be challenging if you have an knee problems or health issues.
