In June 2015, during the Festas de Lisboa, we spend four nights at José's apartment in central Lisbon/Bica and had a very great stay there. Bica is kind of a trending district but not as packed as the Barrio Alto is. Located in an old house (we loved the tiles!) next to the famous Bica elevator, the apartment was the perfect place for discovering the city. The metro, train and ferry station "Cais do Sodré" is only a few walking minutes away as well as some very nice restaurants and pastelerias are. This made it easy for us. The apartment itself was perfect for two people, with a comfortable bed in a quiet bedroom in the back of the apartment and a spacious living room with a balcony in front. The place was overall clean and tidy and also very quiet (except the two festival days, but we knew it before, so that it was fine with us). Last but not least José was very speedy in communications and made it possible for us to have a check-in already in the morning - this is what hospitality should always be! :-) Over all we can warmly recommend this flat to all Lisbon lovers - and would always book José's apartment again. Thanks again, José!
