The apartment was very clean. It was in a beautiful building and in a central location in Lisbon. Joao was a great host and provided many extra touches. He arranged for us to have a transfer from the airport which was very welcome. He spent a long time explaining all the local amenities, transport options and Lisbon tourist attractions to us and provided us with a map, which we found really useful. The apartment was quite noisy at night due to traffic noise. Would recommend using ear plugs as otherwise, its a perfect place to stay.
