We never had the pleasure of meeting Pedro but he did respond very quickly to all emails. His charming father, Carlos met us at the flat and gave us the keys and showed us around the rooms. This flat is in an "up and coming" neighborhood. It's located very close to a metro stop and is truly a real neighborhood. There are several little markets, two great butcher shops and even some great restaurants. The restaurant down the street, #62 (which is their address) had absolutely delicious food and were so reasonably priced that my friend and I couldn't stop raving about it. We actually ate 2 dinners there. There is also a fantastic Brazilian restaurant just down the street as well but much more expensive than #62.

The pics accurately portray the flat. There are 2 bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with a twin. Both had storage but please note that the double bedroom only has a window to the living room..so the air circulation can be challenging if you are a light sleeper but need the air to keep cool. Please note that there is NO air conditioning and as Lisbon was having very unseasonably warm weather, it was quite, QUITE warm in the flat, especially during the day.

There is a little terrace (big enough for a small table and 2 chairs), a full galley style kitchen and a LOVELY large bathroom. Everything was very clean & welcoming!

Please note:
1) It is on a VERY steep street and you must walk all up hill from the metro stop.
2) The building is thought to be 250 years old. The steps leading to the flat (no lift) are VERY steep as well and are quite high (10 inches-yes we measured them!) For 2 people who both have knee problems, the steep streets as well as the steep steps proved to be daunting at times. (Carlos was wonderful about carrying our luggage up the steps. However, the cab driver refused to climb the steps to help with our luggage when we were leaving Lisbon!)
3) As it is a true neighborhood, it could be very loud at times. On the weekends, there were quite a few young people out "enjoying" life until the wee hours as well as family arguments etc that could be heard. While the back bedroom was pretty insulated from the street noise, it proved more problematic for the front bedroom-especially since you needed to leave the balcony doors open due to the heat.
3. We were conned by the cab driver from the airport to the flat, took twice as long (and cost twice as much money) than it should have. Pedro will give you very detailed directions with pictures. Hand them to the cabbie rather than just giving him/her the address!

All in all, a really GREAT place to stay in a city that took our breath away. I will DEFINITELY be back to Lisbon and recommend Pedro's flat highly.
