What a wonderful place to stay! And Andre is the perfect host! My wife and I decided to spend our 8-day honeymoon in Lisbon, and after much debate chose Andre's apartment. We could not have made a better choice.

The apartment is cozy and a comfortable size for a couple. It is well-furnished, including the kitchen, which was good because we enjoy cooking some meals ourselves. The washing machine (and balcony drying rack) came in handy. It is in a fairly quiet neighborhood - the only noise at night was the garbage collectors. Lisbon is a small enough city and the apartment felt centrally located. All the touristy sights are within easy walking distance, as well as the metro and train stations (if you want to venture farther out) and a stop for the infamous Tram 28. Lots of good restaurants, bars, and bakeries close by, not to mention a grocery store, if need be.

What made a huge difference was Andre's keen desire to ensure our time in his city was the best possible. We appreciated his airport pick-up and drop-off. Sure, we could have found our own way to and from, but it was nice not to bother with finding our own transportation, especially after a 7-hour flight. He also had some great recommendations for things to do, eat, drink, etc. in the city and vicinity.

So, if you're debating on which apartment to pick out of all those options - like we were - STOP IT! :)
