Firstly, correspondence with José's daughter was very easy - she was always very quick to react, helpful and competent. No problems there.
José was waiting for us at the apartment to check us in and also gave us some excellent tips, for example the 7 km walk along the river promenade from downtown Lisbon to Torre de Belem. (Thanks, José, being walkers, we really enjoyed this.)
The apartment is in a quiet building on the 3rd floor and is well-located, being about half way between the airport and Alfama's old town. It's very simple to reach with the metro from the airport as there is no need to change trains. It's only a few minutes' walk from the metro station. There is a bakery more-or-less next door and the supermarket is a mere five minutes' walk away. Restaurants are also close by. It's about a 30-40 minute walk to the river and downtown. We walked almost everywhere despite the hills, but one could easily take the metro.
The apartment itself is very comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen, a comfortable bed and a large terrace. There is plenty of literature available giving sightseeing tips.
At the end of our week's holiday, José very kindly drove us to the airport for our return flight.
All in all, I can highly recommend this apartment because the hosts are very helpful and kind, and the apartment is comfortable, well-equipped and ideally located. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you very much!
