I stayed a full week in Alex’s apartment and enjoyed the experience greatly. Alex is a terrific host: thoughtful, quick to communicate, solicitous of his guests’ comfort. The apartment is small but there is never a sense that you are intruding on his space or he on yours. The apartment is outfitted with everything you’d need, especially the well-appointed kitchen. The location is excellent, close to many off-the-beaten-track restaurants where you are likely to eat authentic reasonably-priced Portuguese cooking in the company of locals. There are as well trendy yet affordable modern cafes filled with digital nomads. The number 25 tram is two blocks away downhill. Alex rents two rooms. I paid a little more for the larger room and it was a wise choice. The room is spacious, light-filled, and comfortable and well worth the extra expense. I heartily recommend Alex’s apartment and Alex as a host. I would happily return.
