This is a beautiful home with an out-of-this-world view and great hostess. It is comfortable and quiet (when the windows are closed - there is some late night partying that goes on right around the corner on the steep trolley hill, but that's part of the charm and fun of this location), and in a great neighborhood area with many restaurants and sights nearby. The funicular trolley is close by and fun to experience. Lisbon's Open Market is nearby, too. The food in Lisbon is indescribably delicious. We never had anything less than great food. Be sure to ask for a Fado recommendation, too. Hearing Portugal's native music form was very special. Also, it's a quick trip (1/2 hour) to Sintra, which is a must see. Our communications with Joana were quickly responded to and our every need was met. We highly recommend Catarina's place, and hope to return ourselves some day. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
