Joao’s apartment was very conveniently located in Bairo Alto which is a brilliant area for fun bars and restaurants. The decor was very tasteful and well furnished with all the essentials you would need for a self catering holiday. Joao was helpful and only a message away should there be any issues. There was a bit of a smell in the bathroom drains (this may just be typical of Lisbon’s drain systems, we’re not sure) and we did find some hairs in the bed, and a pair of dusty bikini bottoms under the bed! Lastly, the kitchen fuses did keep going off when we were cooking which was a bit irritating. One of us had to stay by the fuse box to constantly switch it back on. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend Joao as a host.
