We were attracted to Alex's listing due to the apartment's location, decor as well as the reviews left by other visitors and have to say that we are left as impressed as everyone else.

As we were driving down to Lisbon from Porto, stopping on route to Sintra, we missed our meeting time by half an hour resulting in Alex having to wait for us at the meeting point for that duration. She was so relaxed about in (and everything else) that it really put us at ease. After meticulously going through everything in the apartment and also points of interest, she even offered to drop us off at the restaurant were we have booked for dinner. She also arranged a cab to bring us to the airport. Alex was the perfect host.

The apartment is located at a very quiet and convenient spot in Lisbon, only 5 mins or so walk to the nearby Avenida metro stop which takes you to downtown Lisbon in 2 stops (Chiado/Baixa stop on the blue line) and 4 stops to the impressive Gulbenkian Museum. The apartment is located near the top of the sloppy street but that's part of the experience of living like the locals do.
