Joao's place was perfect for our stay in Lisbon. He's very quick to respond to any questions, which was very helpful during our week long stay. We had some crazy flights getting to Lisbon and arrived at midnight. We felt bad about him meeting us so late so we assured him we could do a self check-in with the lock box. He sent photos with instructions and it was super easy. We were very surprised to see the bottle of wine he left us as a welcome gift on the table! He met with us the next day and went over the apartment with us.
It was well equipped for cooking. Plenty of towels, blankets, and pillows. He messaged us a bunch of links for good food and fun things to do in the city. Fauna and Flora down the street was a great breakfast/brunch spot. So many fun places in walking distance and the scooters make it so easy to get around. Unfortunately, I got food poisoning the third day (unrelated to brunch spot above, haha) and missed out on a few things. Joao didn't find out until the third day when I was starting to feel better, but right away he asked if there was anything he could do to help, which we thought was very nice of him. He said he wife was a doctor and to call if we needed anything.
Overall, he was a perfect host with an awesome place and great location. I definitely recommend if you are traveling solo or as a couple. Thanks for everything, Joao!
