Alexandre's apartment is charming, decorated with special pictures, comfortable furniture (including a big bed ) and feels like a home. It is clean, spacious with a most wonderful view of the river and the castelo with the view at night being most spectacular.
Its location is central to many areas of Lisbon either by walking or public transport. An historic elevator is nearby as well as escalators, the Number 28 tram, the Metro and the funicular tram. Restaurants, bars etc surround the apartment.
What makes airbnb unique is the opportunity to interact with local people and hopefully form friendships. Alex is an excellent host who goes to great lengths to provide information and responds to queries almost instantaneously. He is welcoming, gracious and charming as is his apartment.
We would stay again given the opportunity and thank Alex for giving us the opportunity of staying and meeting him. We recommend this apartment to others seeking the same experience.
