We stayed at Claudia's place for 5 nights. It is a lovely place, clean and quiet in easy walking distance of the old town of Lisbon. Claudia welcomed us with some victuals as we arrived late in the evening. The neighbourhood is great, full of places to sample Lisbon's sweet delights and restaurants - try the pastel do nata in the cafe next door - with great bread and rolls on sale in the backery on the other side of the door. We enjoyed being not right in the centre of the tourism hubub and loved coming back 'home' in the afternoon, sitting on the balcony with a drink and a sticky bun overlooking the town, with view of the castel. To us this is a home form home, warm and welcoming. We can recommend it to couples, families and lone femal travellers. When we come back to Lisbon we would stay at Claudia's again. Alice and Ali
