We liked everything about Ricardo's house.
The garden is a great place to start the day with breakfast and end the day with dinner or a drink. It's a nice addition to the house itself (we were here during the summer).
The house is just around the corner of the Jerónimos Monastery and the river Taag, which is a nice and interesting area. That area is a bit bussy with tourists, but the house is in a calm street. We could Always park the car in the streat close to the house.
The bus and tram to the city (and the beach) are just a couple of minutes walking away. Grocery stores are pretty nearby aswell.
