Joaqiums home is in an amazing location - on the famous Igreja street with all its restaurants and shops, steps away from the Alavalade Mercado, parks, and metro. It's a home that has the feel of an old family holiday home with all the old trinkets and tools. It is spacious and can easily accommodate 6 adults. However, like an old holiday family home that you visit only on holidays, it could do with a bit more update and care - windows were poorly isolated which if you are visiting in the summer isn't a problem but in the autumn was freezing indoors; electricity was iffy with lights flickering on by themselves and some of the furniture (couch and bed) was in need of a change. What was most dissapointing was to discover only upon arrival that there were big ongoing works in the building - with a constant flow of noise, dust and cigarette smoke into the appartment. All of these little incovenient details made our stay in particular with a young child and baby not very comfortable.
