We spent a week here in late Feb., early March 2018. Communication went well, and Maria’s son was waiting for us as planned, even though our flight was late arriving in Lisbon. Be aware the the apt. sits on the top of a high hill, and is on the top floor or the building, with no elevator. We only travel with backpacks, and we are in good physical shape so this posed no problem for us. Cabs here are relatively inexpensive, so we used them often at the end of the day to get back to the apt. from wherever we were. We never paid more than €7.00 from anywhere in the old city, Braxia, the Alfama, or Rossio Square. The apt. was spotless when we arrived, and we enjoyed the bottle of wine that was waiting for us. The view from the living room and the terrace is stunning. The bed was comfortable, as were the pillows, but be aware that the bed is two single beds pushed together to make a king. The apt. and the neighbourhood are quiet. There is some construction going on next door, but the noise was not intrusive. The kitchen is well supplied with glasses, cups, plates, pots and pans, and utensils, and we had no trouble preparing our meals. There is a pretty good local grocery store/market/bakery a 6 or 7 min. walk towards Rua Graça. There is also a great butcher on Rua Graça. The bathtub/shower in the bedroom is different, but we had no problem with the sloped ceiling, and I am 6’ tall. Castelo Sao Jorge, the Alfama, Braxia, Avendia de Liberdade, Rossio Rail Station, Seti Rios rail and bus station are all easily reached from the apt. by cab.mAll in all, we had a great stay here, and have no hesitation recommending this apt.
