Joao’s place was a great place for us to explore Lisbon, in particular the Alfama area.
Check in process was smooth and the host was very flexible on our time of arrival to meet and greet us.
The apartment was very clean and provided the amenities we needed. It is small, however it is comfortable. We only used it to sleep in at night. However if you choose to, the kitchen and dining area is functional.
The apartment sits close to sites such as Tram 28, Castelo de S Jorge and numerous restaurants and bars. I would advise to use walking/public transport/Uber as a means of getting around as parking for your own rental is really difficult near the apartment.
The apartment does sit on top floor and the stairs are steep. It was difficult for us to bring our heavy luggage up, but we had help. Also keep in mind this apartment does not have air conditioning , but temperatures were pleasant during our stay.
In summary, the location can’t be beat, and offers a clean place to sleep to go exploring ! Recommended!!
