We spent one month in Michel's apartment. Michel is a very kind host who took always care for everything. The two rooms that we lived in where not large but they were just appropriate for two persons, and the spacious kitchen is a clear plus. The place is centrally located rather close to Rossio. But the neighborhood is authentic and not flooded by tourists. The terrain isn't flat, being prepared for some stairs is recommended. In turn, a wide view out of the window provides for the typical "Lisbon look" - remarkable. Note, we spent our time there in March, so the temperature in the apartment was not always cozy. But all the Lisbon locals whom we talked to described this as the general trait in this city during the cold months.
