Sandra’s place is a hidden little gem in the authentic neighbourhood of Mouraria. A 5 minute walk in each direction to main attractions such as the Castle.
The area itself is at first glance a little rough round the edges, but we found that this added to the authenticity as many places such as Alfama are now much more gentified. The neighbourhood mainly consists of friendly locals going about their daily business.
As for the house, we were really impressed with the value for money. The place is very spacious and stylish and has a lovely veranda where you have nice views and outdoor space.
There are lots of guides and maps available on Sandra’s house which we found very useful. Would suggest packing an extra towel or purchasing some washing powder if staying more than 3 days or so.
The house had all the facilities you’d need, very bright and airy upstairs and peaceful and quiet at night, away from the hustle and bustle.
In terms of the location, it’s a 5 min downward stroll to Rossio square and then on to the main streets towards the central square so I would highly recommend for a fantastic, easy stress free break in Lisbon.
Another tip is to use Uber from and to the airport. The cab can pick and drop you off at the house and it’s excellent value for money.
Thanks a lot Sandra we will be back!
