Wonderful hosts. Central location. Was able to meet David only on checkout but he ensured his brother was there at check in. And yes, David consented for an early check in and for keeping luggages till evening on checkout. Great bonus. Rather a late check out as I had the keys till then! The place was clean. Exactly as in pics. The flat is on 3rd floor and no lifts. The smell of the bakery downstairs is alluring. The area is full of bars and eateries. In case you wish to cook, the kitchen is well stocked and functional. A couple of small grocers within 50 metres and a few big stores within 5 to 7 minute radius cater to a varied grocery list. As for the location, Barrio Alto is on a heavily inclined hill and the best way to reach is to use the Gloria funicular (from Rossio station or Restaunderos metro) or the Bica funicular (3 minute journey) and walk 5 minutes thereafter on minimal incline. Rossio station (for Sintra) and Restaurandos metro station are 3 and 1 minute walk respectively from the lower station of Gloria funicular and just 15 minute walk from David's place in case you wish to exercise the legs of yours. Lisbon's star attraction, its old city, starts at Rossio. One of the 7 best viewpoints of Lisbon, Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara is right next to the high station of Gloria funicular and 5 minutes from David'place. What more could one wish for!
