Thanks to Susana and this great apartment, our introduction to Lisbon was absolutely great. The location in the Alfama gave us lots of opportunities to experience a neighborhood whether it was folks hanging out at the café down the block, kids practicing a song and dance skit on the steps just outside our window, or just walking down the busy shopping street in the AM. The apartment is a great size, new and clean, and very nicely furnished. Susana provided us with a cell phone for emergencies, gave us tips for guitar and fado performances and overall she was a marvelous host. We obviously highly recommend this apartment and don't worry about the steps and hills - they aren't anything compared to Seattle and San Francisco!
