We stayed for an entire month at José's flat during the quarantine and it has made this tough time into a great experience. José was very kind and thoughtful every single step of the way, making sure everything was clean and safe for us and taking any extra precautions necessary, and fixing any problems that arose. Since we stayed for a whole month he also made sure we felt at home by providing pretty much everything we could need, and even for the one time we were missing a kitchen item he promptly got it for the house. The flat is really great, the kitchen is small but functional (we cooked a lot during our month there) and very well equipped, the room is nice and calm and the living space is the best part, with windows overlooking a really quaint street in Alfama. The area of course is wonderful and one might hear fado from next door or the neighbours communicating through the windows but it only adds to the experience. I'm Portuguese but I never lived in an area like this, and it was a fantastic experience. The flat as well is really thoughtfully decorated with bits of Portuguese culture in every corner and you have pretty much everything you can need in terms of kitchen supplies, bed linen, rugs etc. We're both going to miss the rain shower too. All in all it was a really great experience. João and Nico
