Our stay was great and André is a fantastic host, quick to answer and very helpful. We stayed for 4 nights and didn't have any problems but I would like to expand on some points.

Location: the place is located North of Alfama and East of closest metro line (Martim Moriz). Reaching it might be tricky, but completely manageable especially if one does a bit of research prior and André helped giving directions for arrival. The apartment is not really close to the metro lines so walking is required, so from the Sé Cathedral a 10-20mins walk. But coming from the city center one gets the opportunity to discover small alleys and streets with authentic residential life, amazing houses, small local bars and restaurants with local food and authentic ambiance. Even after a whole day of walking and discovering the city, stumbling into these secret and secluded areas is worth it. Simply bring your most comfy shoes, pack lots of water, be sure to have space in your camera, and be aware of ending up in every small bar on the way home ;)

Apartment: the place can get noise from neighboring houses/apartments and if you're a light sleeper this could be an issue (but honestly we were so tired at the end of the day that noise didn't matter :) ). And while the place might be noisy and people are building around the area, one has to understand that this is a residential area, part of a living city, and one which will not stop it's life for the convenience of the tourist. If you do not want the true experience of a Lisboeta neighborhood and bubbling life, you might want to look somewhere else :)

Communication, Cleanliness and Check-In: André would always respond quickly to messages and Paula was quick to help upon arrival, so any issues were dealt almost immediately. The apartment was clean and well equipped, and checking in and out was smooth.

All in all a great experience, especially to discover such a lovely city.
