The apartment with its private backyard is lovely in every way. The standard is high, it's clean, modern and still personal. The kitchen and bathroom are very well equipped, the light in the living room is amazing with huge windows, although no neighbors can see into the apt. There is even one hard and one soft bed, so you can choose what you like best. We were happy for the car parking around the corner too. Joao wasn't in Lisbon during our stay, but kept in touch and made us feel welcome, and Laura in Lisbon was really kind and helpful and made us feel at home. Nice area with stores and restaurants near the apt. Joao's recommendations for restaurants etc was also top-notch! Highly recommended apartment.
