Our visit actually started a few days before arriving: José Carlos sent us a Whatsapp message with travel instructions from the airport to the apartment, including an estimated maximum taxi fare (€15,-).

On arrival we were welcomed by the help, who showed us the apartment, instruction leaflet with important/handy phone numbers and addresses, and a complementary bottle of wine from our host!
The room is exactly as seen in the photos: situated on the 2nd floor and containing a large 2-person bed, 2 window-doors opening onto the street (both with shutter doors) a couch, a large closet with additional blankets, a heater and a side-table. It was spotless and roomy. The view is quite good, partially on a (not too busy) street, but you can also see the "Ponte 25 de abril" and the Christ statue on the other side of the Tagus!

The bathroom is not large, but it is very clean and more than enough for a prolonged stay. It contains a shower cabin with plenty of hot water, a sink and a toilet (and a -lot- of spare toilet paper).

The kitchen is quite large and clean and contains a stove, oven, sink, toaster, nespresso machine, water cooker and trash bin. It also has a small wall mounted table with 2 bar stools, ideal for a breakfast for 2! I can imagine this is more difficult with full occupancy of the apartment, but we were with just the two of us.

The apartment is situated on the edge of the Lapa neighbourhood, about a 20 minute walk from the city center. We did this walk every day for 5 days and it is very nice and doable! There are several good restaurants within 1-5 minutes walking distance, as well as a Pingo Doce supermarket at 3 minutes. Tram and bus stops are also quite close by.

In conclusion: our stay here was excellent. José Carlos, while not present himself in this case, is a great and modern host: if we had any questions he replied rapidly on Whatsapp. The apartment is roomy, clean, well situated and well equipped. We would recommend a stay here to anyone looking to explore Lisbon!
