Ana's place is fantastic. It is quite new, bright and clean. It has everything we could imagine. TV, two bedrooms, lots of pillows, heavy blankets, fully equiped kitchen and so on. Big bonus was the terrace. During our stay nobody had yet moved in in the buildings across the street which made us feel even more comfortable using the terrace.
The neighborhood is slowly gentrifying. It is not as shady as many people described it when I tried to find out about it. the whole construction of new buildings also indicate that. The well-known restaurant Ramiro is just 2 minutes away. You are not too far from the old city center (walking distance) but yet not too close as you would have all the tourists infront of your door. The place had some minor micro flaws regarding technical issues (we didn't care about) and when we told Ana she said she would take care of it. Ana as a host was always reachable via WhatsApp which made communication easy. She was super friendly and always doublechecking if everything was really alright for us. On top we our checkout time was posponed from 12 to 3. Thank you for that.
We really want to go back to her place as soon as we have booked our flights to Lisbon again.
Thanks for your great hospitality Ana
