We really enjoyed our stay at Sofia's apartment - foi maravilhoso! The area is really great; very authentic, felt very safe and was friendly. Nearby (literally round the corner) there is a great local portuguese restaurant and if you walk towards Chiado you'll find interesting artist ateliers, grocery stores, cafes and museums. The apartment itself was exactly the same as the photographs, really nicely decorated and had everything we needed after a long day exploring. Sofia was very welcoming on our arrival and gave us some great tips about the area. Although we never needed her, it was nice to know her and her family were only 1 min away if anything happened. We loved it and I would be more than happy to stay here again. Obrigada Sofia!
