Alexandre met us at the apartment and made us feel very welcome. He suggested a few places to visit and showed us around the apartment. The apartment was as good as I had hoped - the photographs show it well- bright, airy, very comfortable and everything you need. The location is great- in the interesting Alfama district- well placed for everything you would want to visit; for small shops to get provisions; for cafes and restaurants. The fact that it is near the coast is an added bonus. I would highly recommend it.
