My wife and I stayed at Ricardo and Carla's place for three nights. It was a nice place to come back after a day at the beach or just wandering around in Lisbon. We appreciated the three flights of stairs as they actually helped us feel less guilty about eating the delicious pastries for sale only a few blocs away. There are a lot of interesting restaurants in this area, there is almost no need to leave to hear Fado or eat the the local specialties. This neighborhood has it all.
