This is a "dream" airbnb host and site in the Alfama district. Alexandre met us at the apartment with the warmest welcome imaginable, both in his personality and the goodies: wine, chocolate, juice. The apartment is in a superb location and very comfortable. The unique decor added to the pleasure of staying there. The kitchen was well equipped so we could have breakfast and light meals "at home." The wifi was good, hot water on demand, TV worked, and the library had very useful visitor information. We walked easily from the apartment to most places, and public transportation was very close.

We arrived with a car and had parking during our whole stay in front of the building. We only had to feed the meter, at about 8 Euros a day, free on the weekend.

Alexandre provided us with a map and directions to places we wanted to visit. He was available throughout our 4-day stay, and it was fun just bumping into him on the street. Alexandre is the kind of person we would have liked to have as a friend if we lived in the same locale! We highly recommend staying at the "Tile Apartment."
