We booked Jose's place mostly because of the rave reviews and the fantastic balcony... and both surpassed our expectations. Jose is a great host. He really set us up for our visit with great information, maps, tips, etc. We were traveling with a baby and he provided a crib and some other very useful things for us. We felt right at home. Evening tea and Portuegese pastries on the balcony at sunset was a definite highlight. Highly recommend this apartment and host!!
