The kindness of Maria, her cozy house and the lovely and quiet neighborhood made our experience in Lisbon even better. We spent some months there and it was absolutely wonderful!

The house is clean, cozy and comfortable, exactly the way you look at the photos. You can find many facilities very close to the house, such as supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, barber shops, beauty salons etc.

There is no metro in Alcantara neighbourhood, but the house is near to a train station and many bus and tram stops that take you to many highlights in Lisbon, like Belem and Alfama. But, if you enjoy walking, it takes about 40-50 minutes from the house to the delicious (and famous) "Pastel de Belém". It's a nice walk along the Tagus riverside.

For my wife and I, the highlight in Alcantara is the LX Factory. It's a cool village where you can find design shops, bars, restaurants and coffee shops, less than 10 minutes from the house. We recommend: eat a tasty cod in Cantina LX, drink an "imperial" and eat a "coxinha" in Café da Fábrica, eat the most delicious chocolate cake in Landeau and spend hours admiring the bookstore Ler Devagar, among other things.

So, if you intend to stay in nice and quiet place in Lisbon, away from the noisy and crowded downtown, we do recommend Maria's house.
