Antonios place was exactly as described. Clean, quiet, equipped with wifi and kitchen facilities, conveniently located near streetcar, bus, and train connections. About 45min from airport via metro. Easy 25 min walk to bustling Bairro Alto and Alfama. Antonio’s neighborhood of Santos is relatively peaceful, yet has Mercado Santos with fresh-squeezed orange juice, cocktail bar Matiz, and La Boulangerie close by.
Antonio met me upon arrival and was available to answer questions. His place is only one flight up stairs, yet due to the hill it has a commanding view of the river. I loved waking up to the sound of bells tolling in the nearby church Santos-O-Velho.
Highly recommended.
