Jose's space is fantastic. It is situated right in the heart of the Alfama, but on small street that is a bit quieter than others. We were there during the parties of St. Anthony in mid-June, so the neighborhood really came to life after the sun went down each night which was super fun. But if you close up the windows you can really get some peace and quiet when you need it. The washing machine in the kitchen and lines outside the window for drying clothes were an added bonus. Also, Jose was super communicative in the days leading up to our stay which was really helpful since it was our first time in Lisbon. All in all a fabulous stay with a great host!
