This was such a solid, affordable home base for me for my 2.5 weeks in Lisbon. The courtyard is to die for, and layout of the house allows for privacy. The daylight can’t be beat, the bed is SO comfortable, and it’s quiet at night. You will leave with strong thigh and glute muscles, that’s for sure! The cleaning lady (Teresa, I believe?) was so friendly and sweet, always leaving everything a step above everyone already cleaning up after themselves.
The only “down side” to it is the entrance to the neighborhood is steep and pretty much only a well seasoned driver with an automatic car can maneuver; it requires knowing how to do a 3-point turn, which I only had 1 bolt driver that knew how to do it. BUT, being next to the Sao Vicente monastery makes giving people a landmark of where you are super easy. Being between Graça and Alfama also means you have a lot of delicious choices within a 20 minute walk!
