I spent one month at João's flat and grew to really love the space and the location. The apartment certainly has a special vibe that I think can be partly attributed to the patio out the back that looks out onto a former school grounds. I liked the sound of the chickens in the middle of a capital city! The living room has large French doors and I would sit out on the balcony overlooking the street in the evening, with sun setting over the cityscape. I would definitely return to this flat.
