Cristina's place is absolutely lovely. The room has a good size and even comes with its own balcony overlooking the street. Everything you need is right there, a comfortable bed, a table and chairs as well as places to put your clothes. We had a big bathroom just for us which was a huge plus. The kitchen was also available to us as well as the garden which is a nice place to sit and relax. The house is located in a nice area with lots of cafés (good for breakfast or for coffee and pastries, try the Tebas on the corner or the Brick a little down the main road), little markets and a supermarket. The metro station Anjos is also close by and the famous tram runs just around the corner. The place is close to Graça and Alfama, the beatiful districts with tiny narrow streets, spectacular views, and amazing restaurants. Cristina gave us some awesome tips for places to check out nearby (like the lesser known viewpoint just up the hill from the house or the great restaurant Damas) and she also answered all our questions concerning day trips to the Atlantic coast. So we had an amazing time at Cristina's place and enjoyed the beautiful city of Lisbon very much - we definetely recommend it!
