Christophe's place is truly great and he is an extremely pleasant, caring and responsive host. The place has been completely remodeled, with all new everything, plenty of electrical outlets, fantastic lighting, it feels super clean, has all of the modern amenities, and the layout is really comfortable and feels very spacious for its size. One of the truly great things about the apartment, is that it extends from one side of the building to the other, so there is tremendous cross ventilation which keeps the place very comfortable, as well as plenty of natural light.
There are wonderful touches throughout that make the apartment feel warm and inviting, without any sense of clutter. There are good places for working, reading, sitting, relaxing, recharging, etc. The internet works great throughout the space, and cellphone reception was excellent, too.
I can't imagine a better location as a base for exploring Lisbon. A major transportation hub is a short walk away, and Alfama and Barrio Alto are both very accessible by foot. There are a couple of small stores for daily supplies nearby, and a very well-stocked grocery store about a 10 minute walk away.
I stayed for an entire week, and could have easily and happily stayed much longer. Thanks so much Christophe!
