This is a review for the second stay at this apartment. Initially stayed for 5 days and for 2 more days a few days later when back in Lisbon. Here's the first review which applies to our second stay as well:

The photos of this apartment don't do it justice. It's really amazing. And now has a pool table. It's so damn nice we stayed there for the first 5 days of our trip and then again for 2 more days when we came back to Lisbon. Am actually writing this review during that second stay there as we speak. The host - Alex - is ridiculously nice, informative, and responsive. He spent an hour with us showing us places to see while we're in town and even sent us a laundry list of spot to see and places to eat. He's always available by phone and email and is incredibly helpful. Grab drinks or coffee with him if you can, great guy. And the apartment itself can't be in a better location. 3 mins from the Rossio train station in the heart of Chiado, 5 mins walk to Bairro Alto neighborhood on one side and Alfama on the other. It's maybe a 10 min by foot to the Praca de Comercio (i.e. the waterfront arch and statute), though with so much to see or do it'll take longer because you'll be stopping all the time. In other words it's super central. It's also on a small street in the middle of everything but insulated from all the noise. So it's quiet at night. Definitely a good nights' sleep. And very safe with secure entry. So in sum this is an amazing apartment in a fantastic location with a really great host to match. VERY highly recommend.
