Largo dos Trigueiros 16 (2º/second floor, direito/right-hand side) is a completely restored apartment on a small hidden-away cobble-stoned residential square in the popular bairro of Mouraria. The cobblestoned former ‘Moorish quarter’ – roughly between the Castle and Rossio - is a friendly and super-central neighborhood where Fado was born and which today presents a mix of long-time residents and a multicultural community, complemented by artists, students and other young people. The flat (ca. 35 sq m) has a large light-filled living room with a stucco ceiling, plus a balcony for smoking  or picking herbs for your dinner. Whitewashed walls and white flooring throughout. There are magnificent views across the roofs of the historic city.

The main railway station for Sintra (Rossio) and the green Metro line are a five-minute walk away, the blue line (Restauradores) little more. The Castle, as well as the historic Alfama, downtown Baixa, and chic Chiado neighborhoods are close by.  There are plenty of good-value ethnic restaurants (Pakistani, Mozambican, Santomean, Capeverdian) a two-minute walk away, as well as a traditional and excellent-value Portuguese restaurant right next door. Traditional pastelarias and café-bars, convenience stores, post office, an ATM, bakery, bottle store and much more are only a few minutes’ walk away, as well as the Casa da Achada cultural centre.
