Paulo is a great host! He gave us recommendations, helped us make a reservation at a Fado restaurant and also booked us a cab to the airport. I loved staying up on the hill. It is a bit of a hike if you walk, but there is a convenient bus that goes from the city center and drops off in front of the castle. This apartment would be ideal in warmer weather with clear skies. The view is incredible, but unfortunately it was mostly cloudy while we were there. The apartment was also a bit chilly, but there is a space heater that worked well. I recommend staying with Paulo!
