The neighbourhood is very lively, special in the evening you see many young people - students artists and many African people hanging around. There is a lot of nice terrasses and good cheap food. When you walk in the neigbourhood you discover some nice small shops - a music shop with rare lp's and cd's, and clothes and other gadgets. The atmosphere looks a bit like Kreutzberg and Friedrichshain in Berlin, and special for younger creative people, students, it should be a very nice cheap and interesting stay in Pigneto. The market every morning is very nice, and also the bakery on the corner. And till late at night many shops are open to buy food and drinks, so you don't have to take food with you when you arrive late in the evening. Paulo gave us very good tips of foodshops in the neigbourhood, and the good pizza's nearby. Paulo and Sylvia are the best hosts and very nice and kind! They are very responsible and take good care for a nice stay. We also had problems in the weekend with the cafe next door, a lot of noise came through the thin wall till very early in the morning. So be aware for the suturday night, and the other nights is not allowed to have a party. The other nights is a very pleasant and peaceful stay in the quiet street with decent neighbours. Compliments for Paulo and Sylvia, they are very welcoming and warm.
