This apartment right next to the Sé in Lisbon is stunning - I know that the photos look good which was a large part in attracting us despite no reviews, but they barely do the place justice. The trade off for the 5 flights of stairs (no lift) are the stunning views over the cathedral in the living area, the city rooftops from the kitchen and an amazing view from the twin bedroom with small balcony across the Alfama rooftops out over the river and the bridge in the distance - definitely worth it!
The place is newly renovated and immaculately clean, our daughters rightly commented that it was nicer than our own home! The TV has some cable channels and also plays movies directly from a USB stick (handy for us with small children), the wi-fi worked well and the shower was excellent. Aircon units in all rooms which we didn't need just yet in May.
Apartment seemed very secure with 2 lockable doors to gain entrance to the apartment as well as the front entrance door to the street. In a good busy neighbourhood but not noisy once the trams stopped at night (the 28 Tram Sé stop is literally outside the building) and easy to walk to all central attractions including the stations at Rossio and Cais do Sodre for trains to Sintra and Cascais within 10-15mins.
Lots of eating options nearby and a Pingo Doce supermarket within 5 mins walk tucked away on Rua da Madelena (with a handy elevator up the the Castelo).
All in all the place is amazing and we could not recommend it highly enough - would definitely stay there again and in fact hopefully will do so as 5 days not long enough to do this wonderful city justice! The few little touches like 2 bottles of local beer, a bottle of wine and some local cheese left for us along with a Dolce Gusto coffee maker and capsules (unfortunately we don't drink coffee but it was a lovely touch) gave us a real sense that our host wanted to make our stay special. Practical things also like plenty of dishwasher tablets and detergent for the washing machine, and also cloths for cleaning up etc. which we often find overlooked in other apartments also were great.

The one issue we had was with finding the place - street names seem to change every time the road turns in Lisbon - I would recommended organising to meet at the Sé steps rather than the apartment as would be easier and literally 1 minute away.
Don't hesitate to book this place, we certainly will be back Flávia.
