I was very satisfied with this little gem of an apartment. I was travelling alone, and the rooms were spacious and cool despite the 30 degree heat in Portugal in May. The apartment is very close to a metro station on the red (Vermelha) line, and I found getting there and back easy. José and his son were kind and gracious hosts. It is very easy to get total darkness in the bedroom, which I really appreciate. One thing worth noting, especially to people sensitive to sound: the apartment is on the ground floor, the stairs go above the bedroom, and the door does not soundproof well, so you can clearly hear others coming and going during the night. I could sleep soundly because I use white (actually brown) noise to drown out background noises. The kitchen is well equipped, and you can easily cook a meal for four should you choose. All in all, well worth the price, and I would recommend it to others.
