Pedro is a great host. He was very flexible in picking us up (after several mix ups on my part) and gracious. The apartment had all the little touches that made it feel more like a home than a hotel room. It's in a section of Lisboa that dates back to the medieval period with (very) steep and narrow winding streets. Here, it's not uncommon to have outside walls that are over 1 meter thick (the apartment has an interior wall almost this thick). If you want to actually "feel" a part of old Lisboa history, this is the place to stay. BTW: The Military Museum between the Fado museum and train station may be the best value in Lisbon with much more than military artifacts (i.e. art).
