José was a exceptional host!! He communicated with us in a timely manner and answered many questions in advance of our arrival. He met us in person upon arrival and oriented us to the apartment, including his family history with the building and neighborhood. He provided excellent suggestions on restaurants, grocery shopping/Mercados.
The apartment is in a great location with trams and buses only a block away. We were able to get everywhere we wanted without any issues. Lots of restaurants and shops in the neighborhood as well.
The apartment was very comfortable and exactly as presented on Airbnb. The terrace has spectacular views of Lisbon and the Alfama. We enjoyed coffee every morning and wine each evening out there.
One thing to be aware - this is a 5 story walk-up. There is no elevator/lift. This wasn’t an issue for us. But it may be if you have mobility issues or walking up multiple flights of stairs is a challenge for you.
I highly recommend staying at José’s! You will not be disappointed.
