If you want a truly unique and special experience, stay at Joana's place. Yes, there will be giant hills to climb. And, yes this flat is on the 3rd story without a lift. But, you don't stay in the Bica for modern conveniences. Open the front windows for a sliver of a view of the bridge and river, hear the bell of the nearby trolley/elevator and get some breeze. If you can handle some hills, you can walk virtually anywhere you want to go from Joana's flat. Kitchen has all the essentials. Wifi is strong. Beds are good. Hot water is scalding. What else do you need?
