We had a great time in the House of Maps. We met Pedro at the door and he was very welcoming, open and helpful. He explained the apartment and the area, plus we discussed art and travel....

The apartment is exactly as it looks, and the stairs are exactly as described! Sitting on the balcony was a highlight. The apartment really is right next to the main squares and two minutes from Rossio Metro station. The main tram stop is 50m from the door. The only downside is they are building next door so there was some noise during the day. We'd go back tomorrow.
