If you're looking for an apartment in a brilliant location (unspoiled historic centre of Lisbon), look no further. If you think you'll find a more communicative and generous host than Pedro, you must be crazy. My only reservation about recommending the 'Writer's House' is that it may be booked out the next time I want to use it. 'This 'writer's house' stuff, by the way, is not fake; Pedro is a widely published author, with interesting accounts of Portuguese social history, but he's far from being pretentious or disdainful. I went there with three internet-addicted children, aged fourteen to ten. Even they adored it. Can I say more? The accommodation, by the way, is more than adequate. Good general space ground floor; a kind of mezzanine with a single bed and books; top floor (air-conditioned) with generous bed space. Great place!
