If you want to be in the heart of authentic Portuguese culture then this is the place to be. The cobbled, narrow, windy alleys are full of character and great to explore. But it's not for the faint hearted, as like a lot of Lisbon it gets very hilly and quite a climb in places.
Luis is a fantastic host who greeted us at the Fado museum and took us to the apartment where he gave us a comprehensive run through.
His hospitality is generous, especially where we had an issue with the bathroom.
We were unfortunate where upstairs were in the middle of renovation works, so were greeted with a lot of racket in the mornings. Besides this we had a lovely stay. Plenty to see and do within walking distance with the best Pastel de Nata (myself and my family believe you can buy) at the little local cafe just around the corner!
