If Andre's place has availability, stop searching and start booking. My husband and I are on a year-long trip, we are staying at a LOT of Air BnBs, and Andre's magical loft tucked into the Alfama stands out. We could not have asked for a more stylish and cozy space, a more incredible neighborhood, or a more generous host.
The apartment itself is a delight. Clean, minimal, tons of natural light, and with beautiful touches and gorgeous wood beams, the space was wonderful. The big windows looked out onto a beautiful square and a big white church, and at night you could literally hear Fado music drifting through the streets into the apartment. There was plentiful hot water and a great kitchen.
The apartment is located in the heart of the Alfama, with amazing bars and restaurants tucked into every corner. We walked almost everywhere, but the tram and bus are close by, and the train station is an easy 10 minute walk. Perfect location.
Finally, Andre could not have been more attentive and cool: he gave us so many good recommendations that we didn't even bother cracking a guidebook or googling anything. He is the epitome of everything that is good about Air BnB hosts, and we were lucky to have him help us with our time in Lisbon.
All in all, AMAZING STAY.
