Staying at 'casa menino deus' was so lovely! As a young girl on my own (without knowing Portuguese) I felt so safe in the area and the building. Never did I remotely feel in a position of discomfort or apprehension, despite being there for a few months.
Its the perfect location to enjoy Santo Antonio festivities over the month of June, for the many beautiful views as you walk home, along with vibrant restaurants and cafes. Saying all that though, you still have a quiet place to stay that feels just tucked away. It was superb, and will be missed for sure!
