My experience in Lisbon staying in Joao's apartment has been very pleasant. Joao was very flexible and met us when we arrived. He helped us with the luggage, went with us to park our car and was very kind to take us for a walk around the neighborhood and recommend us a few nice places to eat. The apartment is situated in Bairro Alto, in a quiet area just a few streets away from all the fun, pubs and restaurants. The streets are restricted to residents only access, therefore access with your own car is not possible. The apartment is on the 2nd floor and it looks exactly like in the photos. There is a "mini-bar" prepared for the guests (biscuits, wine, beer, water, tea, coffee etc), you can take what you need and pay when you checkout. So, in case the stores are closed you can find the basics right in the apartment.
