José & Maria were excellent host 10/10! The apartment is in a great location that is easily walkable to restaurants and grocery stores. The apartment is also a ~10-15 minute walk to Bairro Alto. This place is a great spot for a short to mid term stay. We stayed for a month and found it to still be a good option, but with 2 people it started feeling a little cramped after 2-3 weeks.
With that said, just a couple of things that are good to know in advance:
- low clearings if you are taller than 6’ ft (watch your head!)
- If you are staying with someone else you may have to share some of the hot water.
- Internet was great for remote work.
- Bed was comfortable.
- You have to be careful not to have too many appliances running or you will trip the power. This happened to us several times when cooking, but all you have to do is reset the circuit breaker.
