Myself and my girlfriend stayed for five nights in Zé's studio which was the perfect location to base ourselves for a trip exploring the city. Easy access to train, metro and bus stops. Some fantastic bars and restaurants nearby also. We would highly recommend the African restaurant around the corner. The views from Castelo de Sao Jorge which is just beside the studio were amazing. Make sure to visit Sintra for a day of hiking/checking out the crazy palaces and gardens there (easily reached from the studio from the nearby Rossio train station). The custard tarts in Belém are superb.
