We loved our stay in this lovely apartment. André provided excellent directions and greeted us on arrival, assisting us by carrying heavy luggage up the 4 flights of stairs. The fact the apartment is higher up affords one a fantastic view of the city life below, beautiful architecture (monastery, churches, Pantheon) and river views. We spent many hours at the windows, just enjoying the rhythm of daily life in this fascinating area of the city.

André provided us with maps and loads of really useful information, based on our length of stay (9 nights) for places we may enjoy. Also many helpful hints that we found most useful during our stay. The kitchen was fully equipped with all we needed for self catering, and to start us off we were provided with coffee/tea/juice/milk, bread/butter/cheese/jam, all much appreciated until we were able to stock up at the grocery store. We also enjoyed delicious meals at the family restaurant downstairs.

The apartment is clean with a lovely hot shower with towel warmer (so nice!). Bed and pillows were super comfortable.

Excellent location for exploring Lisbon with easy access to tram and bus for connections to Metro and rail (for day trips). But the most fun is walking--bring comfy shoes! Cannot say enough about how helpful and friendly André and family were. Host goes above and beyond expectation.

Highly recommend, provided the stairs are not a barrier. We grew to love Lisbon from our experience in this place!
