I stayed in the smaller room of the two that Luis has in his Navegantes apartments. The neighborhood is perfect because it is a quaint and quiet area that is still in good proximity to walk, take a tram or bus to many nearby areas. (Chiado, Castle St. George, beaches)... If you like to walk, then most of the time you don't even need transportation. I walked several miles a day and even to the train station where you can hop on and take it to the beaches nearby. I also found a place called Vitaforma that was only 500 ft from the apartment to get a wonderful massage! There are many places to eat or shop for groceries that are close by for those times that you don't want to go further into town.
Luis was a nice host and will make you feel at home while you stay! I would definitely recommend!
