Alexandre was a generous and welcoming host. He stocked the kitchen with breakfast treats and wine, provided restaurant recommendations, and made sure we understood how everything worked.

The apartment is bright, sunny and delightful. The location is perfect -- quiet but still close to everything in Chiado, Baixa and Barrio Alto. All of Lisbon can been seen from the large windows and doors facing south, east and north.

The spacious living room is a great place for a morning coffee or a glass of wine toward the end of the day. Again, the light and the views are extraordinary.

We visit Lisbon often and we'd happily stay here again.
