The location of this flat is perfect for feeling as part of the Lisbon culture - especially that of Fado. The Italian restaurant close by (Cassanova) is highly recommended (although it isn't Portuguese) and has beautiful views of the sea.

The flat served our needs well. Barbara was more than accommodating. She made us feel very welcome and provided clean linens and tea! I wish we had been able to spend more time with her, as she seemed like a very nice person.

I wouldn't recommend this flat for an older person as the beds weren't very comfortable, and there were many stairs to climb. The positives, however, outweighed the negatives.

Upon arrival my telephone didn't work (which I was supposed to use to call Barbara to meet her). Plan for this event to happen, because taxi drivers cannot find the flat. It is quite easy to get to from Museu do Fado, so have Barbara tell you directions from there in case this happens to you as well.

Overall, we had a wonderful stay!
