We had a nice time at Alexandra’s place. She is a great host. Even though we did not meet her in person, she provided very good instructions and many tips for local restaurants and sights. The apartment is spacious, lovely decorated and has many amenities especially for families with smaller children, including a crib, high chair, and baby bathtub. The only downside is that the building is very badly soundproofed. You can almost follow the conversations of the neighbors through the walls. We found this a bit annoying, especially with a little baby going to bed rather early. The location is relatively close to the airport but still not too far from Lisbon city center with all the major tourist attractions. There are several good restaurants and cafes close by. To be honest we found the neighborhood a bit dirty. Extremely annoying was the large amount of dog pooh on the side walks. It was a constant challenge to drive around it when walking with the stroller. Apart from the points mentioned, we can really recommend Alexandra‘s place to families with children.
