Upon our arrival, we were welcomed by Alexandre in person, who patiently put up with our lagging communication before - we came to Lisbon at the end of an incredibly busy summer. The apartment was clean, comfortable and in a fantastic location - close to historic sites, public transportation, restaurants, the lively docks, cafes, bars by the river. I found a great running route immediately. We had a whole week to discover Lisbon and the surrounding area and it was great to be close to everything. One thing we missed was rest - there was an almost continuous dog barking in the building, sometimes what appeared to be up to 3 dogs barking without human control. It did not ruin our holiday, but I caution people who visit Lisbon not only to party but to rest, to check if the dog situation is resolved.
