The apartment is spacious (especially for two), bright and airy and in a wonderful location - a vibrant area and close to many attractions, but still quiet. The two short flights of stairs are steep but manageable. Joao was a brilliant host - taking us to the apartment (it would have been difficult to find without him), helping us with our luggage and spending time with us to go through a map of Lisbon, pointing out his recommended highlights, which all lived up to expectations. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the apartment to friends and to stay there again ourselves.
