Alexandra’s apartment was exactly as is seen in the photographs. The location was very clean and everything was in working order. The apartment included materials that would be a resource for tourists (maps, etc.) and a small amount of various things to make one’s first night easier (e.g., some coffee, sugar, etc.). The location was excellent—a few blocks from the metro, near a number of markets/supermarkets and little restaurants. The location is close enough to the tourist sites, while still being a comfortable, authentic neighborhood. Alexandra was extremely responsive to email inquiries in advance of the trip. She coordinated her arrival time very well with my arrival from airport. She was also extremely helpful in ensuring that I understood the layout of the apartment and the surrounding area. I have no reservations recommending Alexandra’s apartment and would be happy to return for a future visit to Lisbon.
