We could not be more pleased with our experience staying at Andre's apartment. It is the ideal Airbnb experience. Before we had even left home, Andre wrote to us with extremely detailed and helpful instructions about how to travel to and locate the apartment from the Lisbon airport. We could tell he was a great host before the trip began. The apartment is located in Alfama, the home of Fado and one of the oldest districts in Lisbon. It is in a pedestrian-only zone, so there are no cars to disturb you with noise or horns. The streets are narrow and winding; the perfect atmosphere for a romantic and fun adventure. Andre provided detailed instructions on where to arrive by taxi, and how to walk up to the apartment. The apartment is located on the top floor of a building with no elevator. If you need accommodation or don't like to climb, that is the only reason Andre's apartment might not be for you. But for us that was part of the unforgettable atmosphere. Without leaving Alfama, we visited a wine bar with 150+ varieties of wine. The proprietor was a fully-certified sommelier who provided a dinner-length private tasting. We also visited the oldest continuously operating Fado restaurant in the district. The apartment is walking distance from everything a short-term tourist wants to see. The city center is a 5-7 minute walk. The castle is a short walk up the hill... Back to the apartment... It is the perfect size for a couple on a getaway. Andre has decorated it in delightfully modern yet cozy way. The main level has a sitting room, kitchen/dining area, and bathroom. The bedroom is in a loft above, with a custom-made wooden staircase which is worth the price alone. Four windows look onto rooftops, a beautiful church, and the Rio Tejo. The kitchen allows for fully cooked meals if you are inclined, and the shower always had hot water... Upon our arrival, Andre called us to make sure we understood how to use the apartment. He gave us travel and tourism tips, and helped us decide what activities we would include in our time in Lisbon. Andre also booked a taxi for us from the apartment back to the airport... Lisbon was the friendliest capital city we have ever been to, and we are globalized, world travelers. The people of Libson were very friendly and kind, and Andre was the first and best example of that during our trip. We really cannot list any down side to staying at his place. Our only regret is not having more time to stay!
