Highly recommend José’s place (as long as you dont have a car)!
We drove in to Lisbon for one night and finding a place to stay with free parking on premises was crucial to us. José’s place was one of the first to pop up once searching with the parking filter, between that aspect and all the great reviews he’s received, we figured it would be smooth sailing. Once prior to booking and about a week before our trip, I asked José to confirm that we would have parking once we arrived and he did.
It was nearly an hour after we arrived that we met José and he told us that the parking situation has changed. He mentioned that he’s removed there there is parking included from his airbnb listing since we booked as there is construction in the neighborhood and it is no longer available. We parked on the street near the Airbnb and José said it would likely be fine, but we ended up having to leave in the middle of dinner to move the car for a resident and had difficult getting out the next morning as our car was parked in by the construction crews. Had we known the reality of the parking situation, we likely would’ve skipped a rental car for the night we were in Lisbon.
Parking aside, José was great in terms of recommendations for things to do while in the area and quick to communicate whenever we had any problems. The apartment is comfortable and centrally located- great place to see the city!
