José's place is located in a really nice neighborhood, in Estrela. Very close to the Barrio Alto, however in a non-touristy area. As for the apartment, it was very nice, with all new amenities. The room itself was just as pictured if not nicer. Although I didn't get the chance to meet José, i can tell from talking to him that he is a wonderful person/host. I hope next time we have the chance to meet. My only criticism would be, I found that it can hot at night, so a small fan would be very helpful. Overall you should stay here!!
