Ricardo was a very nice host and even pro-actively offered me to pick me up from the airport! The apartment was very nice and the price is really good. The bed was comfy and the internet worked really fast. My suggestions for the area: try to avoid the fado restaurants and walk down in direction of the fado museum (there is a nice restaurant next to it - also for dinner). From there, proceed along the street in direction of Praca do Comercio. On the way, you will find about 6-7 really nice eateries- not touristy at all, for example Trigo Latino, Taverna Moderna, Alfandega and a very stylish hamburger place. Don't go before 22h and you will enjoy a great vibe with lots of locals. Fado is indeed nice to listen to from your balcony, BUT: the cool restaurants - in my opinion - are more in that area mentioned above! Enjoy!
