Ana and Antonio's flat was immaculately presented, super clean and an absolute pleasure to stay in. It is very tastefully decorated and newly refurbished - a real find! It is exactly as the pictures show and even more beautiful in real life. The shower is excellent and the bed very comfortable :)

We were welcomed by Silvia, a young, super friendly and extremely kind and helpful 'concierge' who is originally from Sintra. Silvia showed us though the various maps of Lisbon, answered all of our questions and pointed out some great local things we would not otherwise have known about. Silvia can also arrange a transfer for you from the airport so you can avoid the queues for a taxi (for exactly the same price as a taxi).

I would highly recommend this area, it's in the old town, right next to the castle and Alfama. It's a residential area and you really get a sense of being in a local community which we loved. It was very quiet yet Alfama and the Fado scene is within walking distance as are the bars and restaurants in Chiado and Barrio Alto.

We could not have had a more enjoyable stay - there were even a selection of cold drinks and the best pastel de nata waiting for us on arrival!
