As a first time user of Airbnb, I've honestly had zero experience with other places. But José's apartment was great and much better than described. When my girlfriend and I first walked into the room we were blown away. In my opinion, it beat a hotel stay especially for its listed price.
Although the bed was inches away from the doorway, there was ample room to move around. The night tables, closet and desk were a great way to manage our belongings. There was actually a time when the clothes line outside the window actually became useful, so there's that. It was also nice and quiet at night so it was really easy to fall asleep.
The apartment was in a great location such that we'd take 20min walks to Rossio or be able to access the metro with ease.
With a downtown location and everything we needed, it made for a good home base. We would surely come back again.
