Alexandre went out of his way to meet us at an awkward time - early evening on a Sunday - and proved to be a great host, friendly and likeable, and genuinely interested in us. We appreciated the welcome treats, and Alexandre's care in arranging an airport pick-up for us. The apartment is well equipped, and a very pleasant space for relaxing: light and elegant, and though compact has a great sense of space. The location is excellent - a quiet, atmospheric part of the Alfama district but an easy walk into the busier areas, and from there a pleasant walk into central Lisbon, the Bairro Alto etc.
