This is a lovely, airy, and spacious old style apartment imbued with lots of light and ideally situated in one of the old, high quarters of Lisbon.
There is a functional all purpose store at the foot of the street, but a small meander up to the right and several lefts reveals a handful of friendly, quirky neighbourhood shops and more than a couple of nice places to have seriously good coffee/cakes/savouries.

Host José is an enthusiastic, attentive sweetie and in between the monster walks that we undertook, we much enjoyed in the late afternoons/early evenings his little reading room/library which is equipped with a serious multilingual comic collection - including a memorable Snoopy tome in Portuguese.
