We stayed in João's place for 4 nights, and the location is perfect for exploring the city. You can walk through Principe Real, and into Bairro Alto. Lots of lovely restaurants and cafés on the road too. The flat was very clean, and the perfect size for two people. The bathroom was really nice! João was accommodating and let us leave our luggage at the flat as we were early for check-in. We asked if we could leave them after checkout too as we had a late flight, but this was not possible. We appreciate him trying though! Luckily there is a luggage drop 2 mins walk away. The only thing that was not great, and unfortunately it had a big impact on our time here, is the bed is the most uncomfortable bed I've ever slept on. The TV was very basic and there is no coffee machine as advertised. These two things did not bother us much as we had brought our own teabags from the UK. There is also a small shop nearby which is great for breakfast foods. We would stay at João's flat again if the bed was changed. Apart from that, it was a perfect base for exploring the city. Thanks João!
