Tania is amazing. The place is also amazing :) We were a family of five (2 couples and one 14 year old) and it was everything we could hope for and need.

First, the place: Set over three floors and very private. Gorgeously decorated with everything you could possibly need. Comfortable beds, everything clean and neat. With the windows open, the breeze is great. You can see the river from the kitchen and the attic type room right at the top which is perfect for kids. Every room has a bathroom which is also great. Two of them ensuite. It can get a wee bit noisy but it didn't bother us so much.

Second, the location: It's central to everything that is needed. A short walk away is a beautiful church that has a square that has GREAT music (we think it's every afternoon as we went twice and saw the same band playing...we even bought their CD since we liked it so much) and there are enough super markets etc to get your essentials. The center of town is a ten minute walk away. It's between Alfama and Baixa (I think I have that correct) but either way, either direction you turn to, it's fab.

Third and perhaps most important, the hostess herself: Tania is really great. Went above and beyond starting with an early check in which she had to hustle to get for us, to leaving us welcome goodies (amazing wine from her friend's vineyard) and booking us a taxi when we needed one. Very very responsive to all requests for anything and just amazing to deal with. Thank you so much, Tania, for making our trip to Lisbon easy and memorable.
