We were well met and nicely welcomed by Paulo, Sofia's brother. The place is compact but a nice bonus was the size of the bedroom and the bed, plenty of space.

We found it central and easy to get around the city, mostly walking everywhere.

Easy to get to from airport via directions included. Had everything we needed. Wouldn't recommend to large or overweight people as the shower is snug, so mind your bum on the shower control when you bend down for the soap. Haha.

I'd stay there again.

PS Forgot to leave a message/info in the guestbook:

Best place we found to eat (and for coffee) was Cafe Tati, behind the Mercado da Ribeiro, Rua da Ribeira Nova, Cais do Sodre region. Fresh and simple food, good atmosphere.

Local restaurant up the road was v good value, good for fresh fish (the Bacalhau/salt cod) was a bit too much of an acquired taste. Otherwise well cooked and simple stuff and nicely served up.

Thanks, Sofia, Paulo and family. love from Lorretta and Derren.
