The flat is as lovely as the pictures suggest, in a great location close to good food and drink but in a quiet street. The location is also well placed for transport links elsewhere via tram, Metro, train and taxi.

Lisbon is great fun, the sights varied, the food and drink delicious and people were very friendly and helpful. We managed one trip out of town to the Palácio de Monserrate in Sintra which was stunningly beautiful.

Alexandre was the perfect host with superb recommendations for restaurants, bars and sights and he even set up an account on his Mac for me to complete a job application.

I'd go back at the drop of a hat.
