Pedro and his place were great - he was very welcoming, gave me some suggestions, and made me feel at home. The apartment has great character and is on the top floor so it gets fantastic sunlight. I was glad I had just a backpack going up and down those stairs and the steep street. But you're bound to find steep hills almost anywhere in Lisbon, and the location was perfect! Very convenient for wandering around or hopping a tram or train to get anywhere outside the center.
