Rosana and Pedro were wonderful hosts! Before we even arrived to Lisbon, they checked in to see what we were up to and who we were. We were welcomed warmly by both of them for a few minutes. They also left us some sweet treats we discovered in their flat after they left.
Their place was cozy and quaint with a lot of character. If you need to spread out, need lots of space or plan to be in the flat a lot, this may not be the place for you. However, if you plan on being out and about, this place is close to lots of entertainment and fun neighborhoods. Bario Alto is historic and cute. That comes with a bit of restriction in the form of zoning for cars, so you’ll have to park elsewhere and carry your stuff to the flat with a few hills. It also means that there is a lot of nightlife around. Rosana and Pedro provide a white noise machine and ear plugs for those that like fresh air but not all the life walking and talking outside the windows - worked fine for us!
Last thing, if you are a bit clumsy or have knee/mobility problems, don’t be surprised, the flat has a pretty steep and narrow staircase. It’s only for one floor and is all part of the charm of an old building and a historic Lisbon.
It was lovely and convenient and we’d stay here again.
