Joao’s apartment is fab! A great location, very close to a lovely square with restaurants, wine bars, cafes and a little supermarket. Everything is clean and the kitchen has all you need. TV has lots of channels including English language programs. The apartment is quiet even though you are in the heart of everything (but you can hear the main door opening and closing). The water pressure isn’t great so the shower is a bit of a drizzle but that might be a hazard of lots of Lisbon’s old apartments.
We had a fantastic dinner at Chutnify a street food/ Dishoom type restaurant just steps from the front door. Also check out Churrasqueira da Paz for authentic, great value Portuguese food, grilled fish and meats with veg and a jug of red wine for €10!
There is a tram that takes you from the seafront to just round the corner. The kids loved the castle, aquarium and zoo.
