Pros:
- First and foremost, Jose is an absolute star! The best host I've ever had the privilege of staying with. If you were ever burned by Airbnb before, Jose will restore your faith in the service;
- The apartment was very clean and comfy, with all advertised amenities, and a few extras - I felt like I could have forgotten half my toiletries, and I would have been all right;
- The apartment's location was pretty good, with a nice walk down Lisbon's hills to the city centre;
- The neighborhood was pretty quiet, even though the apartment is on the ground floor level;
- The terrace has a nice view, really let's you see the quieter part of the city.
Observations (don't want to say cons):
- The apartment is high up, so if you end up at the bottom of the hill with your suitcases, grab an Uber, they are plentiful and cheap;
- The apartment has space heaters, so the living room and the bedroom can get super warm and snug, but the kitchen, bathroom and hallway can get a bit chilly in wintertime;
- The neighborhood is a residential area and has groceries, supermarkets and a few eateries within walking distance, but if you are after high-class or down-town dining, it will take you about five-ten minutes by car, or twenty-thirty by foot.
Overall:
- A hearty recommendation, can't go wrong if you decide to stay with Jose!
