Pedro’s home was charming and colorful on the top floor of a grand old building. The room was spacious and I liked that the window was a door offering a way to stand a bit outside. The neighborhood was lively but the room was somehow so quiet. Downstairs was one of the restaurants recommended in the New York Times, Taberna da Rua das Flores, and always has a long wait so it was so perfect to put my name down and take a a nap before my table was ready. Across the square was the best place in town for the famous Pastel de nata called Manteigaria. Seriously it’s not even worth eating anywhere else.
I really appreciated Pedro’s hospitality helping me figure out what to do when my flight was changed on my last day. He was friendly and accommodating.
