Andre's flat was perfect and he was an exceptional host. From early emails Andre was incredibly responsive. When we arrived in Lisbon he stayed up VERY late to meet us as we came from the airport, carried our bags, showed us the apartment, which he had stocked with snacks and Port and coffee for the morning, and Then... he settled down to give us all the local information we needed for our next couple of days.

We loved the apartment itself. It was clean, full of character and the care of very thoughtful and well-designed renovations, and it could not have been more perfectly located. Old Lisbon stares you in the face right out the window, and its in the heart of the Alfama -- close you can take a stroll and easily return to the apartment. It is literally 100 feet from our favorite restaurant, and very close to plenty of Fado bars and cafes. But somehow it is still perfectly silent, peaceful, with gorgeous views of the adjacent church, and out over the water.

I've rented through AirBNB in more than a dozen places now, and renting from Andre was as good an experience as one could hope for. You can rent from him with 100% confidence, and know you're getting a great apartment in every way.
