Rodrigo’s apartment is perfectly located in the middle of the Baixa, a pedestrian-friendly network of restaurants and shops, and convenient to the Metro system and buses to other areas of town. It is light and airy, with spacious rooms and excellent storage, and the appliances gave us the convenience of home while on vacation. There is an elevator to the 3rd floor (European) location for taking up your bags—you can take the stairs after that to work off all the delicious Belem tarts you’ll want to eat while you are there. If you want to make breakfast at home, there are 2 Pingo Doce supermarkets close by. Rodrigo has stocked the shelves with a selection of maps, even a Rick Steves guidebook, and he is available by messaging through the AirBnB site if you have questions. Be sure to have lunch at the Mercado Ribeira and the Mercado do Campo Ourique—both have superb wine bars with knowledgeable servers to introduce you to the wide array of Portuguese wines.
