The apartment is spacious and very nicely decorated and has excellent facilities. Having a washing machine was a boon and we really appreciated the air conditioning in the bedroom during a very hot period. There is a bit of a climb to reach the apartment but that is true for many places in Lisbon. The location is excellent: close to both Alfama and Baixa and near the metro and Rossio station. We didn't meet Thierry but Jacky was very helpful. A great place to stay.
