We had a little trouble finding the place as Rua da Regueira is not accessible by taxi and not everyone knew the street in the square where we were dropped. Cristina, Ricardo's sister met us at the door and helped us with our luggage up to the flat. The flat is self catering and well stocked, including a washing machine--welcome if you've been on the road a while. The neighbourhood has lots of decent restaurants and a great pastry shop 2 doors down from the flat--perfect for morning coffee before heading out for the day. Alfama is a wonderful neighbourhood to explore, esp. known for fado. Check out Rua dos Remedios nearby. Note: the flat is on the 4th floor, up 4 flights of a very steep, narrow stairway--a bit of a workout. But the view from the balcony is superb.
