Jose's place is situated on the most divine little street in Alfama. To arrive at your place to stay and be immersed immediately into an atmosphere that can only be described as 'Lisbon' was lovely. His apartment was perfect for us. It's suitable for 1 or 2 people max and has all you need. Jose gave us so many great recommendations for places to eat, Fado music, areas to see. He gave a really personal touch and checked in via messaging during our stay to ask if everything was ok. The area has lots of restaurants, cafes, bars. There is a bar/restaurant at the end of the street which can be a little noisy if you have a guest going to bed early and sleeping in the living room on the sofa bed. 2 minutes walk from the apartment, you have the Fado Museum, a little market and the Water front. We stayed in Jose's for the web summit and you can get the 728 bus straight there from outside the train station which is 3 mins from Jose's place. It cost's €2. Alfama is a great central place to stay. Use the 'free now' app for taxis. It 's inexpensive. We were there on a work trip but the area of Alfama and Jose's recommendations made us feel like we were on holidays. Thank you so much for a great stay. Niamh
