Alexandre was quick and helpful to reply to queries via email prior to arriving in Lisbon. He was away during my stay, however had arranged for his father in law to let me in and show me around, who was very nice and was waiting for me upon my arrival. Alexandre had left a bottle of wine and some chocolate as a welcome gift (thanks for that!), and the apartment was as advertised. I stayed over a weekend and there was quite a bit of noise during the night from the downstairs neighbours and people outside on the street, but thankfully I was quite tired from checking out the city and didn't have trouble sleeping.
