Inside the city walls, seconds from the castle and in an area oozing with local charm, Joao's unit is comfortable, spacious and has a great location. Updated with a washing machine and a firmly comfortable bed, we enjoyed our two nights. Once outside the city wall, there are numerous places to eat and shop.
When we return to Lisbon, this will be our first choice.
Important accessibility note: expect a non-trivial uphill walk with your luggage unless the taxi brings you to the door. Once inside, it is 37 narrow steps to the apartment and another dozen to the bedroom. For some, this can be a challenge and a work-out.
