Our stay at Diego and Maria's apartment was simply magical...from the historical neighborhood to the sounds of Fado singers wafting through the windows in the evenings.
I slept like a baby on the brand new mattresses with comfortable bedding, and the great shower perfect for tall people made my husband very happy.
The steep stairs mentioned elsewhere are very typical for old European buildings, and not that big a deal. We're 56 years old, and it was no big deal getting up with our bags.
There is a wonderful bakery and coffee shop just steps down from the building, where my husband went out to get breakfast and coffee, and several restaurants within a very short walking distance. The entire neighborhood is just full of charm, and we would stay there again in a heartbeat!
