What a lovely central apartment! I slept really well as the apartment is close enough to everything yet tucked away nicely. The other people in the apartment seemed to have a lovely respect for each other and everyone kept noise levels down. In fact I barely heard anything. The bed was medium to firm, leaning on the firm side.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time staying at José's place. José was very responsive via the airbnb messaging system and answered a multitude of questions I had. He is very kind and patient. Thanks José! Both him and his wife were also very helpful with my luggage. A lovely friend of theirs assisted me with check in and she was very friendly although not as knowledgeable as José and his wife. There was a small issue with the key being hard to work in the security gate, however that was worked out relatively quickly (within 2 hours). I was then given an electronic key that worked very smoothly. I have a very sensitive nose and found the smell in the bathroom a bit unpleasant, keeping the fan on 24 hours and the door shut helped disseminate the odour. I was also expecting a fully equipped kitchen. There were three non-stick frypans, three aluminium pots and stainless steel cooking utensils. As a cook I found this less than fully equipped however it served my purposes for a five night stay. Overall, it was fabulous. The food places locally kept me worrying too much about the kitchen anyway. I was in heaven in Lisbon! Thank you José! Your hospitality and kindness made my trip easy.
