Alexandre’s place is very stylish and in a brilliant location in Lisbon. This was our first ever visit (travelling with our 13-year-old son) and the apartment was beautifully presented and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The apartment is very stylish (although perhaps a little more dated than the pictures suggest) but the entire area is lovely and clean with some incredibly welcoming touches (we had a bottle of red wine, sardines and peanuts to greet us on arrival)! I don’t think you would find a better location to stay and Alexandre’s advice on the best local bakeries and restaurants was terrific. The apartment is just near the port and when we visited for five days in September there were lots of cruise ships ... so the area gets quite busy but with the local hints of where to get your groceries and grab a terrific (friendly) coffee and pastry in the morning, it provided us our own little local sanctuary in an amazing, historic part of Lisbon. Be aware this apartment is in a very traditional, older building so there are some things that come with the territory: the toilet flush is a little temperamental and there is no air conditioning BUT there is loads of hot water and great water pressure. Not a huge amount of hanging or drawer space in the main bedroom but that didn’t bother us for our stay. Check in, check out and communication was outstanding - we would highly recommend Alexandre’s apartment (but not in summer - Lisbon was high twenties even at the end of September and while the sea breeze is fabulous, it would still be way uncomfortable without aircon if it were any hotter outside).
