Mafalda made a great effort to make us feel welcome, she sent a pdf-file beforehand with suggestions for trips, restaurants, public transport etc. The description of her place was accurate. The area was very nice, a real Lisbon experience. Walking up the hill to the castle never took us the 10 minutes that Google Maps suggests, but it is a nice walk through a cosy old neighborhood. Everything was available in the house (although we had to search for the towels, they're in the black cupboard in the living room ;) ). The bed is comfortable. The bathroom is very small, showering is a bit of a challenge. Checkout was flexible and Mafalda even wanted to come back to enable us to leave our luggage there for the day (in the end this wasn't necessary). We would definitely recommend this place.
