Gardênia is a wonderful host who is a passionate artist with a big soul and heart!!!
I had the room facing the sea which was so nice in getting the beautiful early morning colors into the room.
Personally I walked all the time from her apartment to the city since this is my way of exploring cities, but the location is very good so give it a try and have a look at the wonderful buildings, streets and go at your own pace. If you want to rush you can take buses very close by.
Thank you Gardênia for making my one week Lisbon trip to such a great stay!
