Our flight was half an hour late arriving at after 2200. Hugo had arranged a driver to pick us up at the airport and that was a great idea because the communication between them was so good that Hugo knew we were on our way and met us at the door and assisted with luggage. For 25 Euros it was money very well spent. The streets are very narrow and traffic is restricted by a barrier but the driver has a pass which allows him to drive right to the door. Without that we may have been dropped off quite a distance away. I was not in the mood for that late at night so it worked brilliantly. Staying in this fantastic location has its challenges if you are "of a certain age" like me because of the steep steps and laneways. But, the great view and compact little flat makes up for a lot of that. It is peaceful and has a great shower and a complete kitchen if you are mad enough to cook when there are dozens of eating places around the corner. The "hop on, hop off" bus is a much better bargain for a two day pass than in most cities and it includes trams and a great trip on the yellow boat up and down the river and there is a line which goes to modern Lisbon which we found particularly interesting.
