Communication with Abu&Jose was very unusual. When we arrived, we were asked to show our passports and they forced us to allow them to take a photo (with their phone) with no further explanation. We had to call and search why this is required. It seems it's mandatory for all Portuguese hotels by the government. I think this should be communicated in advanced because it was quite a surprise (not a pleasant one). The room itself is as advertised. It has only one window so there is absolutely no air flow. You will wake up in the middle of the night due to lack of air. Bed was comfortable, though. Kitchen is well equipped but don't expect anything like salt, sugar, oil, tea or coffee. Although the whole complex should be quiet with no parties allowed, the upstairs neighbors were partying the whole night until 9am. The sitting outside is nice if you don't mind people constantly smoking next to you. The only advantage is that it is close to the subway and the city center.
