Inés place was in the beautiful neighborhood of Barrio Alto where during the day it is quite and only after 6pm starts to get lively (until 3am). If you want to enjoy dinner and have a good night life right on your doorstep, this is where you should stay. The flat sits on the 3rd floor of the building (with no lift which did not bother us), has lots of natural light and beautiful views over the roofs of Barrio Alto; there is always a nice breeze coming into the flat, also during the warm evenings in June. It was very clean, and decorated with a minimalist style. It had all the basic facilities we needed; the fact of having 2 complete bathrooms and one small, made it very convenient for the four of us. Beds were very comfortable. The double-glass windows helped to minimize the night-life noise. Max. 10 minutes walk to the nearest Metro station (Baixa-Chiado) and walking distance to the city center.
Inés was a great host, even before our stay. She was quick in responding to questions and very friendly and informative when we first met her. She speaks good English and excellent Spanish. I could really recommend Inés place, specially for a small group of friends or families with older kids.
