Jose is by far one of the best hosts that one could expect when arriving to Lisbon. He is always willing to offer his help, he gave us tips and directions, which led us to many nice hidden places, only known by locals (nice restaurants with incredible food at fair prices, tiny premises where authentic Fado music is played by talented singers, old liquor stores, etc.). Jose and his wife Teresa were so kind that one day they accepted to have lunch together (they had a long 2.5 h break from work) and we enjoyed a very nice discussion about Lisbon and Portugal in terms of history, economy, arts and many other interesting subjects which counted more than any touristic attraction in the economy of our 1 week vacation. We are extremely grateful for it.
We arrived at the apartment at 11:30 PM and even if it was an unusual hour for check in, Jose and his sister Patricia welcomed us and made us feel like home instantly. The apartment is recently redecorated with great taste and utility and looks exactly like in the photos. It is fully equipped, very clean, bright, and the location is hard to beat: right in the centre, 2 minutes away from everything you need, in the same time surprisingly quiet during night.
If 10% of the hosts would be like Jose, we have the most enjoyable vacations. :)
