For our first visit to Lisbon, my husband, my parents and I wanted to stay in the heart of the city - Jorge’s place was the perfect location, and the ideal size and layout for the four of us. We enjoyed the privacy of the bedrooms and bathrooms - and noted that the showers must be the biggest in Europe :) Joao’s hospitality at check-in was much appreciated and his recommended restaurants (including O Caracol across the street) were perfect for us. Our only regret is that we only stayed two nights! A couple notes: the beds were firm and as the apartment was on a side street you don’t have a “view” (might be something to consider if you plan on spending a lot of time inside). Overall loved the experience and would stay again if we returned to Lisbon.
