My husband and I stayed at Jose's apartment in Bica for 1.5 weeks in June 2018. We had a great time and enjoyed each moment. The location is perfect, near public transportation (buses, subway and trains), and it is right in the heart of one of the most vibrant typical Portuguese neighbourhoods.
It is also walking distance to everyone in the old city centre.
The apartment itself was very clean and had everything we needed.
There wasn't anything we didn't like, and we would definitely stay again when we return.
Jose was also very flexible at time of checking in since we had a few issues and arrived later than expected.
We definitely recommend staying at Jose's apartment!
