Ze's apartment was the perfect home base for my mother and I on our 5-day visit to Portugal. He makes great use of the space, so you don't feel too cramped. It was great to have a kitchen during our stay, and I loved having access to Portuguese television! The neighborhood felt safe, and there is activity (bars, cafes) a block away from the apartment. Be prepared to carry your luggage a few blocks, as the street is pedestrian-only. Only downside: there wasn't a full sized closet, however he does have space to use as a dresser to store clothes as well as a rack for hanging things up.

Ze himself was a responsive, considerate host (thanks again for the cookies!), and was flexible and communicate around our arrival and departure time. I highly recommend this apartment for those looking for a true Lisboeta experience!
