Rodrigo’s place is perfect. Close to the main sights, but (more importantly) not too close. The neighborhood has an authentic feel, authentic restaurants/shops, but you’re not suffocated by tourists. Barrio Alto is the ideal neighborhood - the hot spot for night life is nearby (but you can’t hear it from the comfort of the loft) and the tourist attractions are all downhill from home (a big benefit in hilly Lisbon).
There’s a great Miraduoro down the street, and sunsets and sangria there may have been our favorite part of the trip. Also, Rodrigo has some great tips for things to do for his guests. 10/10 would stay again.
