We loved our stay at Joao's apartment - his place is beautifully furnished (as the photos show) and very spacious! Joao was great - friendly, easy to communicate with, and offered great restaurant suggestions! We had one of our best meals from his local recommendation. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need and Joao kindly left us some bread, fruit, milk and juice for breakfast. He was also very flexible and allowed us to check out late, as we had a late evening flight.
The apartment is about a 15 minute walk from Chiado / Barrio Alto, which was perfect for us, as it meant we were in a quieter part of town.
We would highly recommend staying at Joao's apartment - thank you!
