We really enjoyed our stay at Alex's apartment. The location was nice - not too far of a walk from Barrio Alto, Alfama, etc and close to the metro which was a plus. Definitely a lot of stairs to climb to get inside as others have noted so if you are traveling with lots of luggage it might be a pain. But good exercise! The apartment itself has everything you need - definitely appreciated the amenities in the kitchen as well as the bathrooms (everything was always sparkling clean!). The small shared balcony looking out over LIsbon was the perfect way to start the morning. We stayed in room #2 which is a small space for two people so you have to find a way to make it work - but totally doable! It was quite warm during our stay and I messaged Alex about the possibility of bringing a fan to cool down the room. He responded immediately (Alex is very responsive which is great!) and said there wasn't a fan; however, the next day he brought us a fan! Amazing and thank you!
