A bottle of wine and a small bread to greet us was a nice touch. Host have lots of tips to enjoy the place, maps, tour guide books, etc
Location is great for me. It is walking distance to Apolonia train station where we came through from Porto. Nearby is a Bus Stop for Bus 728 (24 he's) to Belem and passes by Tourist areas like Baixa ( where Praca de Comercio and Justa elevator, etc ). Bars, restaurants, museums, are just a few steps. Using my Google map, we walked to Castelo San Jorge from here going up and down old cobble stone Alfama neighborhood alleys that are clean and surprisingly passed by Miradouro das Portas do Sol. Locals are so glad to help with directions when Google map lost signal.
So quiet when we were there for 5 days. The only noise is from rowdy girls going up down the stairs in one night. So peaceful place.
Paid parking space below the building. The apartment is so clean. You have all you need to feel at home. Dining area looks so pleasant, big table, furnitures with well coordinated design. Two so clean and we'll decorated bedrooms. My wife loved the fully furnished kitchen. She also loved the life sized mirror in the big bedroom. Bathroom is wide and good enough for us. Towels are clean, toiletries were enough for our 5 days stay. Beds are firm and comfy. A closet in the bigger bedroom with lots of hangers. Iron is available. There are heaters but we didn't use them. Floors are clean.
I only wish the stairs have light switch sensors that turn the lights on longer. Also, the bathroom fan could be stronger. The wash sponges in the kitchen sink to be replaced. These are the only two issues I can state which by the time the next guests come in, I'm sure Alexander must have taken care of. Overall, I enjoyed my stay in this apartment.
