We met Andre at the proposed time. He welcomed us warmly and gave lots of help and tips for the quarter and the city. The flat is just as it looks on the pictures, maybe the images give the impression it might be a little bigger. But as we were just 2 guys and most of the tie exploring the city, we did not feel too confined in the flat. The bed and the mattress was really comfy, rather soft than too hard.

We drove by car, and we had some trouble finding a close spot to park, although actually there are spaces available for everyone. We spent some 5-10 minutes to get to the car, again that is okay if you are exploring the city by foot.

The location is great, lots of small restaurants around, lots of small cute alleys. But it takes some time to get from Alfama to the famous bar district Bario Alto (30-40 min).
