Rosana is a warm, welcoming hostess. The apartment is clean and highly functional. There was a carafe of water and fresh fruit waiting for me in the room. -- a lovely touch!
There are any number of restaurants in the neighborhood and a really nice cafe for breakfast three blocks up the hill.
The bus stops at the corner. Nothing is very far in Lisbon and I walked everywhere, including the 3 miles to Belem, most of it along the Tagus river.
I feel like I have a new friend.
