José’s place is really perfect. Small and cozy but with everything we needed: room to unpack, space enough for the two of us to mostly not trip over each other, kitchen amenities to easily cook for ourselves if desired. It was beautifully appointed with creative use of the space. The location was really ideal: in the heart of Alfama. Fado heard not only in the restaurants but also echoing beautifully in the alleys. Once in bed for sleep, though, it was wonderfully quiet with a lovely breeze coming through the windows at night. We loved Lisbon and took advantage of some real “touristy” things to do but loved them: speedboat on the river at sunset, bicycle tour in the later afternoon, lots of walking, eating and drinking! Enjoy!
