What a perfect location in a gorgeous apartment! It is even prettier in real life, with wooden shutters and exposed stone. No need to run around the city finding fado performances, there's a great restaurant below the apartment and another one beside it with free fado. For breakfast, just step out the door to the right, cross the little street, and slip into the cutest crepe shop that smells like heaven and has such tasty food.
Helena was quick to respond and offered to let us check in early since we arrived in the morning. She helped make it an easy, comfortable visit to Lisbon.
We made the mistake of renting a car. Public transportation is easy, accessible, and inexpensive. We ended up paying to park the car in a garage ($50 EU a day!) and hopping taxis and using the tram. Driving is precarious, even if you're familiar w driving in European cities, and finding street parking is next to impossible.
I can't believe we got to stay in such a remarkable place! I can't say enough good things about it!
