I went for João's because I needed a budget-level lodging not far from the University, and I got what I paid for... maybe even something more. 10 minutes from a metro stop, bus stops in front of the apartment, many facilities nearby. The room was quite comfortable, clean and quiet despite being in front of a very busy street. Maybe a bit humid, but that's Lisbon for you... João was available for any request or info and even accepted to host my luggage for a few hours after the checkout. The only "issues" I had were with the other guests, as some cooked without opening the windows to let the smell out, or closing the door to the kitchen to not disturb the others... but I guess everyone has different sensibilities. A pair of earplugs and everything was fine. I would probably come again!
