My husband and I, and four of our friends, had a wonderful week in Lisbon.
Joao's place was a great size for six people and having three bathrooms was extra nice.
We were worried about it being warm in Lisbon (I'm sad to say I've become used to air conditioning living in the States), but Joao had really nice fans in all the rooms so it was really comfortable.
The location is amazing!!! Right in the center of the action in Alfama, but the street was quiet enough at night so we could sleep--the double-paned windows and shutters also helped with night time quietness.
I love the decor--it made it feel like a real Lisbon experience (and above and beyond just being in a bland hotel room).
Joao was very helpful and responsive and was a great host!
Thank you so much, Joao!
