If you want to stay in an area that is authentic this is the spot . We felt like we had stepped back in time maybe 200 years.
The location is a little challenging as it is a bit difficult to get to. You must walk from the bottom of a hill. There are 3 flights of steps to the unit so be aware of that. We loved the open windows and the cozy little apartment.
Marta had everything you might need.
We also loved that literally steps outside the door there were tons of bars, restaurants, stores, Fado houses and more.
Again if you are looking for a very authentic experience I would highly recommend staying here.
Just be prepared to do a lot of rigorous walking and climbing to really explore the area.
