Fantastic spot in Barrio Alto, couldn't have asked for a better stay! Communication with Suzana was fantastic, she responded promptly to all questions we had as we didn't actually meet her at check-in. We were gifted a bottle of red wine which was a great way to start off our stay. Thank you, Suzana, it was delicious! The flat is close to the metro, very easy to arrive from the airport or train station. Definitely do not need a car if you plan to stay in this neighborhood! The unit is larger than it appears in photos and is absolutely gorgeous. I can see a family of 4 utilizing this space perfectly. Super clean upon arrival, wouldn't have thought anyone had just checked out! One really large closet is available, good to store everything if you don't like living out of your luggage. Bathroom is nice with plenty of counter space. Good plumbing (which is important) and the large shower had enough hot water for 2 people to clean up the same day... just recommend not using high pressure if you need more than 7-10 minutes each. The kitchen is well equipped if you plan to dine in, which we did on many occasions. Eating your meals in the dining room is highly recommended, very lovely room with a large table. We found a few markets within walking distance. Closest one is off Rua São Pedro de Alcãntara between the flat and the direction of Metro stop Baixa-Chiado on the east side of the street. Not much further and practically 2 blocks over to the east is an organic market Brio. Between the two, you can stock up with everything you need not to mention all the meat markets nearby! This unit is in the heart of Barrio Alto, which we didn't know anything about this neighborhood but come to find out it is lively in the evenings and into the early morning hours during the weekend. So many great bars and restaurants close by in any direction you plan to go. We happened to stumble upon a newly opened watering hole 2 blocks from the flat and it became one of our nightly stops. Live music, great atmosphere and super friendly staff (especially Luna the bar manager), you must check it out. It's one more block up from the police station (you'll see this around the corner) on the corner, no name as of our time there but it used to be called Bibo Bar and the address is Travessa da Água-da-Flor 43 is the address. The pastries... oh, the pastries. You can find A Padaria Portuguesa all over the city but you must try Manteigaria off Rua do Loreto down the street and bordering the square. We couldn't get enough of these delectables! This flat is so central to every neighborhood you want to explore and we found it to be safe every time of the day and into the evening. We recommend buying credits on a transit...
