Henrique is a wonderful host! Easy to communicate with and his apartment is exactly as it is described. Very clean and contains all that one needs. I did not cook but it had everything there if I did. I loved the art around the apartment. Despite the buildings across under construction, which Henrique mentioned to me ahead of time, it was actually very quiet even during the day. Though I hardly stayed long enough during the day to find out. The construction looks about finished anyway. At night I felt I was in a cave completely away from the world as it was that quiet. This is one of the older parts of Lisbon and is very hilly but manageable. I have stayed in this area every time I visit as it adds to the charm and is very central to everything. Great restaurants around and lots of shopping. There is a great quiosque nearby at Praca de Alegria which had free performances at night. Sit there with your Sangria drink and enjoy. Highly recommend!
