jaoa emailed us in advance of our trip and again a couple of,days before we arrived. We were driving from algarve. Joan suggested a meeting point. He then took us to a cheap 24 hour car park and walked back with us to his apartment helping carry the luggage Jaoa offered to store our bags as check in was not until 3pm. Before leaving us he showed us some nice places to eat in the local area and helped us orientate ourselves with Lisbon. He gave us advice on where to go and transport links

Jaoas flat is in the atmospheric Barria de alto - a wonderful location It was spotlessly clean and comfortably furnished, charming bright and airy.
There were 4 us, however the flat could have comfortably slept 6 people - for the price it offered excellent value for money
