What a fabulous apartment. We loved the actual apartment and the location was fantastic -- right near the Praca de Figueira and lots of restaurants. We even were able to walk to the Castle St. Jorge (it is uphill, but fun!). The beds were so comfortable and I slept better than I sleep at home. The AC is a great addition and the actual layout is very easy and allows for lots of privacy as the two bedrooms are on opposite ends of the apartment. It was very, very clean and when you arrive, there is a lovely care package waiting for you, including a great bottle of white wine. We really appreciated this as we arrived at about 8pm (without luggage) and were a bit frustrated and tired; the delicious chilled wine definitely lifted our moods.

Jose is a very responsive host. He always responded to my emails within a day and his assistant quickly brought over extra towels when our friends decided at the last minute to join us for a few nights. He also contacted the people who were doing construction above us to ensure that they didn't work in the evenings.

I would book one of Jose's apartments again with no reservations! He is the best!
