I can only say is good things about Richard's "pension." The people working with him are sincere, inviting and committed to making you feel at home. The location is great because it is within walking distance of so much of what makes Lisboa a great place to visit. There is some serious partying going on in the neighborhood. You can join in, watch from your balcony or close the sound proof windows and shutters and get rested for the next days adventure. There are good quality restaurant nearby.. ask for suggestions . My favorite bar was the bar attached to the pension. It's on a great corner to sit and people watch. Richard's place made our stay in Lisboa special.
