I really enjoyed staying in Joao's place for the short time I was in Lisbon. I initially had a little trouble figuring out how to unlock the door from the inside (silly me) but quick communication from Ines & Vania through text helped me. The apt is def close to plenty of activities in the area, and close to transportation to Belem etc. TIP: try Frade dos Mares restaurant for some AMAZING affordable seafood - 1 min away. Also keep in mind, Lisbon is a city with a lot of hills, something may say 10 min walk but that could be up the steepest hill. LOL
My friend and I had an early checkout on the last day and I accidentally left my cell phone in the apt. Even though it was too early in the morning to reach anyone before heading to the airport, Joao, Ines and Vania replied and said they would mail it back to me. So thankful!! I haven't received it yet at the time of this review but it has only been a few days. I am grateful that they were so understanding. I am glad to say that anytime I had a question, I received a quick response.
