Fernanda’s small apartment has everything you need, comfortable bedroom, living room, kitchen and excellent bathroom with great water pressure. Windows on one side open to the leafy small square, and on the other side high above the streets below, ensuring a pleasant breeze. When windows are closed, they are very effective in stopping any noise, especially during the day from noisy children in the school program below the apartment.
Wonderfully located - the square has an relaxed outside cafe with good food, and the popular restaurant has typical Portuguese cooking and is extremely good value (you need to book if you don’t want to queue). Other restaurants near are the Mozambique restaurant in the square with large servings of traditional food, and in R. Sao Cristavao, Sao Cristóvão restaurant serving Cabo Verde food- small and simple with a lovely proprietress who sings with the two fado singers.
Close to main transport areas, including start stop for 28 tram (go early to avoid queues and get a seat), and walking distance from the Castelo de Sao Jorge.
Would not suit if you have mobility problems- lots of stairs.
Thoroughly recommended.
