Andre was super-responsive and accommodating, beginning with our arrival (I arrived early in the morning, and since no one was staying the previous night, he suggested I go straight to the apartment). The neighborhood is really lovely and quiet, with an idyllic tree-shaded main street 30 seconds from the front door, and a very nice park square just two minutes away. And the apartment is elegant and very comfortable--an eclectic, bohemian-intellectual vibe. I worried at first that we should have chosen a place closer to the action—e.g., in Alfama— but soon realized that would just have meant closer to the tourist churn. I much preferred having a little distance, especially since Uber and other transport is easy and very affordable, and nothing is very far apart in Lisbon. The neighborhood and the apartment were both great places to come home to.
