Just returned from a fabulous stay at Lourenco's lovely flat. The location is perfect - it's very quite but central, and with local character too (a rare combination). We could easily walk to all of Lisbon's areas with Gracia and Alfama on the door step and Bario Alto an interesting 30 minute walk away. We stayed over a week, with days at the beach as well as the sights of the city. And what a city - friendly people, friendly prices (really good value) and so much to see. We will need a return trip for a visit to Sintra. Lourenco is a great host, he keeps in touch and is very helpful. 5 stars seem as poor reward - it's a 10 from me.
