We enjoyed staying at João's place. He didn't meet us personally, but there was his companion Rui, who was very nice and kind and showed us everything. What should you know:
1. Flat is located right next to most the popular and highest miradaouro in Lisbon. Means:
- it's crowded with lots of tourists and their tuk tuks, daytime mostly, but at the same time you can enjoy it almost alone in the mornings and daytime. View is astonishing.
- elevation is quite serious to get to the apartment, you should understand that you should always go down and up when you go back home. Wasn't a problem for us, we quickly figured out couple of shortcuts with stairs which is easier to walk, but if your feet or heart is not strong, then you should think about it.
- few minutes of walk and Moorish quarter starts right there. It might seem little bit dangerous daytime and nighttime, but at the same time you can enjoy Chinese food deep at night there for some funny prices
2. If don't choose to walk Moorish quarter streets to get home - the area is super safe day and night. Maybe Moorish street are safe too, I personally didn't have any problem there at all and walked there freely with my camera and everything (after Barcelona's El Raval this one is a kindergarten anyway), but it just looks like this, everyone is offering drugs and so on.
3. Location is great anyway. For 20 min you can get almost everywhere.
4. Terrace is amazing, even though it doesn't offer you that view as miradouro, but if you stand on the chair you will see the bridge. Anyway it's big and nice to spend time there, and smells of rosemary bushes.
5. Rooms are smaller then it may seem from the wide-angled photos, but it's more than enough for group of 2 or 3 people.
6. Kitchen is fully equipped.
7. Bedroom is super quiet, you will have the most peaceful sleep in there.
I would recommend staying in this apartment.
