As we arrived by car from Porto, Alexandre met us in a conveniently easy to locate spot down on the riverbank and led us to a parking right around the corner of the apartment.
The apartment is very lovingly decorated with all the equipment you need to spend wonderful days in Lisbon.
A well prepared map with all the interesting hot-spots in the surroundings as well as ample tips for our stay (we would need two more weeks to try them all) were part of his very charming welcome. His preparation and the superb location of the apartment were a major factor in our very enjoyable stay in Lisbon and we have already decided that we will be back as soon as our schedule can accommodate it.
We can recommend a tour to Belem for the famous "Pasteis de Belem", and if you travel by car do not miss the wonderful beaches west of Cascais (Guincho), onward to the Cabo da Roca and then the dreamy castles of Sintra. In the south, over the famous bridge, you will find in Fonte da Telha a cool spot for watching paragliders along the cliffs above a beach on wich you can see apprentice surfers fall off their boards :-)
That is of course if you even find the time to get out of the wonderful and fascinating city of Lisbon.
Thanks to Alexandre it was a mesmerizing experience.
PS: Do not miss going to the Park Bar, for a drink over Lisbon's rooftops, Alexandre will show you where it is, 5 steps from the apartment.
