Jose met us on arrival, was really welcoming and talked us through hints for getting around Lisbon and what we might want to see. And gave us some insider tips including a great recommendation for a local restaurant. The accommodation was a big, airy room looking out onto the street, with comfy bed, wardrobe and settee etc . Not a main road but some traffic noise. Small, functional and clean shared kitchen and shower room.

Easy access to Lisbon centre by tram with tramstop a few minutes walk (no 28, one of the 'historic ones'). General stores and local shops round the corner. 5 minutes or so walk down to the bottom of the street where we found many local cafes and restaurants (all very busy on a Friday and Saturday evening: get there early, book or queue!)
