We very much enjoyed our stay in Joao's apartment. He made us feel very welcome, and showed us around his very well fitted out apartment. We appreciated his arrangement for us to be picked up at the airport by Antonio who spoke some English and subsequently took us on a day trip to Sintra which made it very easy.
The apartment is very well located for travel and sightseeing and we sometimes went home in the middle of the day because it was so easy.
The dishwasher washed well but makes a very loud noise so we could only put it on when going out. The shower fitting is broken and using only the hand held fitting was tricky and sometimes resulted in water on the floor.
The location of the apartment so centrally means it is noisy from traffic and passers by so we slept with the windows shut which would be a problem in hot weather.
Overall we enjoyed our stay.
Thanks Joao!
