I can't imagine more perfect hosts that Pedro and Sarah. My flight was changed at the last minute so I got in early. Pedro took me to lunch and I had my first Portuguese expresso. The apartment is beautiful with a big set of windows that open out to the street. You're on the third floor so you can see the whole street – the red tablecloths of the sidewalk tables at the restaurant across the way, the #28 trolley as comes over a hill and down your street, and the old men gathering on the corner to discuss the news of the day. This apartment is in the most magical part of town. Drinking expresso while sitting in one of the chairs in the open window is a wonderful way to start the day. The two restaurants on the block great and they open for breakfast. The walk downhill to the center of town takes you by the cathedral and several beautiful views of the city and the river – plus, its DOWNHILL. Be sure to let Pedro pick you up at the airport because I think the Google car got lost here, too. But getting lost in this neighborhood is fun. One word of warning, the stairs are steep to the top floor of the apartment, so be careful, but its not really a problem.
