The apartment was exactly as shown in the pictures: modern, stylish and very comfortable. Every single detail has been chosen to provide a great experience: the extra bedding, the crookery, the amazing fragance of a fancy Portuguese diffuser, etc The neighbourhood is as central as you can get. We found that our street along could provide plenty of entertainment in terms of restaurants and bars. As some reviewers have pointed out, it can be noisy. Indeed, but André provides ear plugs and, well, it's very difficult to choose central and quiet. We would definitely go back in a beat. André was the most helpful host. We had a bottle of water, another of wine and a fancy box of ecclars waiting for us. The kitchen has all the essentials but in fancy Portuguese style: the olive oil, the salt. A last minute job interview via Skype made us think we would have to postpone our arrival but André insisted that his wifi connection was great (it was) and just in case lent us a fancy travel router (which wasn't needed at all). We were very sorry to leave and we would love to stay there again during our next visit.
