Pedro was a wonderful host! I stayed in his and Maria's small Alfama apartment for over two weeks and they surprised me by having the apartment cleaned after a week, bringing us a fan when the temperatures got over 100 degrees, offering lots of recommendations for food and entertainment, and keeping in touch almost daily. The apartment itself is just lovely, with big sunny windows and a great shower. Plus, the neighborhood is charming and lively, with the best ginja in the city (trust me!) at the bottom of our street. I miss it already!
