Filipa's studio apartment is as tiny as it looks in the pictures, but it is comfortable and well taken care of. The air conditioning system is new and efficient, the wi-fi connection is stable, the bathroom is small but functional (and the shower booth is not so small, by the way).
The strong point of the apartment is its location in a quiet, pedestrian square at the southern border of the Mouraria. Even though the Mouraria is quite a lively neighbourhood also at night, once you close the door and windows of Filipa's place you will not hear a single sound from the outside, as the apartment has been renovated recently and the windows perfectly isolate it from any noise. The Mouraria is an ideal base for visiting Lisbon, being located between Baixa and Alfama, with all the neighbourhoods of the city centre – Baixa, Alfama, Bairro Alto, Graça – within walking distance. Praça Dom Pedro IV is 500 m away, the cathedral less than 600 m, Saint George's Castle 700 m, while Praça do Comércio, the Miradouro de Santa Luzia, the Miradouro da Graça, Largo do Chiado and the Monastery of São Vicente de Fora are all within a 1 km range. You will need the public transportation only to go to Belém.
Despite arriving late at night, we checked in very easily, collecting the key from the code lock, so we did not meet Filipa, but she has always been available both before and during our stay, promptly answering any question within a few hours.
