Miguel was very quick to respond to messages. We were awaited very welcoming by Maria and fresh cherries and port wine were waiting for us. The neighborhood is calm, even though it's only a five minutes walk to the bustle of Bairro Alto. Cais do Sodro station is a five minutes walk in the other direction, from there trains leave regularly for Belem, Estoril and Cascais.
We stayed almost a week with eight people. the only slight drawback was that the sofa bed was s little too cosy for two guys.
Would definitely recommend.
