André is what I would describe as the perfect host. He takes great care in making sure his guests are well received. André met us at his apartment upon check-in and took the time speak to us as well as provide recommendations as to his top spots including Graça's Viewpoint which is very near his house. The apartment has everything you could possibly need. Incredibly good bang for your buck. Don't overlook the café below André's place, it's very lovely which a sweet older couple as the owners.
The Alfama neighbourhood itself is tricky. While it gives you a very local feel and is undergoing gentrification, it can be quite loud in the streets below. There is no AC and so you'll need to keep the windows open. André's place is ideal for a couple and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown area. Thanks for everything André!
