Miguel is an exceptional friendly and attentive host; quick to respond to any correspondence, he is there to welcome you and show you around.
His apartment is beautiful, old and has very generous, high ceilings, comfortable furniture and a well equipped kitchen.
We were seven, so the additional toilet to the bathroom was very welcome. Even though it is situated on the first floor it opens up to a courtyard leading out from the kitchen and has seating and a barbecue and with bourganville and morning glory climbing up the wall it must be a heaven on a hot summers day. For the fit and eager there is a roof terrace with a view over Lisboa.
The situation is very central and if climbing hills gets to much you have your pick: tram, tuck-tuck or taxi (very reasonable). Interesting is a lift system that takes you from sea level in three stages to greater heights.
Coming home at night you find Miguel's wine bar right next door and can finish the day with a lovely glass of wine and a little cheese.
