Fran was a wonderful host. We were arriving a bit behind schedule but Fran was kind enough to wait for us, despite his previous plans. The room is nice and very sunny. The apartment is also quite lovely and clean. Just a bit of advice for those who have trouble sleeping - there are a bunch of hens and cocks in the next yard so you may be awakened sooner than anticipated. For us it was no trouble at all. Fran's place is indeed in walking distance to almost everything in downtown Lisbon and we only took public transport for the far reaches of the city.
