Pedro was a great host. He met us when we arrived and gave us some maps and useful information about the surrounding area and sights. He treated us to drinks in the street and helped us get a cab to the airport very early in the morning. In short, he was incredibly helpful and friendly. He lives in a very quaint and friendly neighbourhood where everyone seems to know each other, and where you can hear kids playing outside, mothers chatting with neighbours as they hang up their drying, etc. Pedro's place is really centrally located, very close to the Cais do Sodre railway line, the highly recommended Ribeira Market, Praca da comercio, Elevador de Santa Justa, Baixa/Chiado area for going out, etc. We were even able to walk to Alfama and the Castle de Sao Jorge. The best part is that we were there during the Santo Antonio Festival which meant that there were large crowds of people celebrating in the surrounding streets and the courtyard right outside our place! All in all, we had a wonderful time and felt that we got a bit of an authentic experience while in Lisbon.... we didn't want to leave!
