Directions:--------------

Take the metro/underground to Marques.
It’s in the yellow line (if you are color-blind use the alternative to color search coloradd at google).
From there, you walk Rua da Constituição (Rua da constituicao (if you print)) for 5 to 7 minutes and cross Rua Antero de Quental.
At the crossroad you turn right and it’s the 4th or 5th house at you left.
