Pedro's place is in the heart of Baixa, in the heart of Lisbon. I couldn't have asked for a better location for my three-day visit: it's near one of Lisbon's few subway lines and many of its bus and tram lines, and it's a 10-20 minute walk to many of the neighborhoods I wanted to see: Alfama, Bairro Alto, Chiado, Cais do Sodré, Intendente. Visitors should be prepared to climb steps—there are 101 steps up to Pedro's fifth-floor walkup, and Lisbon itself is very hilly, which adds to its beauty and charm. The apartment itself is a sunny cozy two-bedroom, plus a sleeping loft with two single beds, with a small living room with a comfortable leather couch, a dining room with a full-size dinner table, and a patio with a table and two chairs, where you can see the square. The patio faces west and is shaded in the morning; still, I enjoyed having my breakfast and coffee out there. The kitchen has the basics, I made coffee in the stovetop espresso machine. There's a great gourmet market, Mercado Figueroa, right on the square, where I got milk, ground coffee, fruit, wine. And around the corner there's a lovely old-world cafe, Confeitaria Nacional, with espresso and pastries including the famous pasteis de nata. I highly recommend Pedro's place for active travelers!
