Filipa & Sergio were amazing hosts. Our flight arrived early from the US and Filipa was nice enough to meet us at the apartment and allow us to store our bags until the apartment was cleaned and ready. She also took the time to share her favorite places to see and eat, which included incredible fado at tasca do Jamie and tapas at taberna das flores - both very highly recommended and were highlights of our stay. The view from the balcony is postcard-worthy. The location is perfect for those who are looking for more of a local/authentic feel, with the ability to walk to more of the touristic areas. We walked the city during our entire stay and never took a cab and felt this was the best way to see everything and take it all in. Just be sure to pack comfortable shoes, as you will encounter a lot of hill - but is what ultimately lends to the amazing views.

We had Portuguese wine and cheese waiting for us when we checked back into the apartment after exploring the neighborhood the afternoon we arrived - what a nice touch. We would highly recommend this location and Filipa & Sergio - what a treat!
