Hallelujah! First AirBnB where the toilet seat was not loose or broken! In all seriousness, this is a nicely appointed studio. The host was responsive, the doormen were friendly and quite helpful and there is plenty of activity within a few blocks. A mercato with most everything you will need is around the corner and because the apartment faces inward, (away from the street) it was very quiet. Just across the street, down several alleyways there are many cafes and restaurants with extremely helpful and friendly staff and proprietors. Be sure to check out Buna Coffee, Dear Breakfast for a real breakfast, not just pastries, (their eggs benedict is great), and Pastanaga (Catalan for carrot), run by a wonderful Portuguese-American lady with a Dutch accent, her food was excellent. We loved her Shrimp Curry. If you're into grilled meat, down and around the corner is a local's favorite called O Soajeiro, check out their beef kabob, it's called Espatada Madeiruse. It's what the locals have for lunch. Beyond the neighborhood, there is plenty to do and see. But, wear your best hiking shoes, while it is called the city of seven hills, there are many more and everything is either up or down. Ciao!
