We really enjoyed our New Year's stay at The Writer's House. Pedro was so warm and personable and interesting both before and after as well as throughout our time there. The location is very interesting, in a corner of Bairro Alto that's not too busy but is very close to everything - the #28 tram, a wonderful viewpoint (with a spectacular terraced cafe), Chiado as well as downtown. We truly felt like locals, in a simple place looking out over the ancient red roofs from the main bedroom (which has three single beds and a winding staircase) as well as nestled among Pedro's wonderful books. The bathroom is terrific and the kitchen is very well-appointed, this place has everything you need and more.
