Staying at Jose's place made our visit in Lisbon a great experience. Jose is a very friendly host and provided many useful insights on Lisbon.
The apartment is close to a bunch of public transportation opportunities (e.g. Metro station Rossio, buses and the famous tram line 28). Within 5 minutes walking distance are also lots of restaurants and a supermarket. The Castello, picturesque Alfama and the lively Bairro Alto can be easily reached by foot.
The apartment lies in a silent and absolutely safe neighborhood. You'll only have the typical inner-city noises of running air conditions outside your window. Our room was big enough to store our backpacks and to spend the night comfortably. Jose takes great care of the apartment; kitchen and bathroom were in great condition.
