Jose's place is charming and described very accurately. It has a clean modern look and seems recently renovated. The bedrooms look onto a long balcony which can be accessed from one of the bedrooms. The balcony is at the back of the house and looking onto beautiful backyards, with pools and trees. Nice place to have meals if the weather permits. The location between the Parliament and Basilica Estrela is ideal. It is a quiet residential neighborhood with a number of good cafes, restaurants, convenience stores and pharmacies near the apartment. We liked the feel that I am among locals as the street is not swamped by tourists. Tram 28 stops right outside the house, making a return home from a long day of sightseeing a breeze. Lisbon is all uphill and downhill so being able to hop on the streetcar is a big plus. However, most of the places you may want to see are within walking distance. Jose and his wife are very responsive to questions and requests. We entirely enjoyed our stay in their place.
