Look no further, if Pedro’s place is available I highly recommend it. The location is ideal—2 buildings over from the Baixa-Chaido metro—but that’s not the reason to stay here. Property in this neighborhood has largely been remodeled and repurposed for short term rentals only. Pedro is a genuine local with local knowledge, and he may be the only such Airbnb host left in the neighborhood. Invaluable!! He and his charming son both speak perfect English. Their place is kept very tidy and the vibe is mellow and welcoming. All the stars.
