Joao’s apartment is really beautifully decorated and is in a wonderful part of Lisbon. Only a few metres away from the castle walls (yes, you have to walk up the hill but it’s not too bad once you get used to it) the apartment feels incredibly authentic and it has a fantastic view over the Tagus river. However, the apartment clearly shows signs of heavy use, and unfortunately was not clean. There was trash on the floor and terrace, the kitchen counter had food marks, there was laundry in the washing machine, hair in the shower, litter on surfaces and stains on a door. I asked Joao to resolve this but regrettable the apartment was still dirty even after someone came to clean. It’s a shame because otherwise the apartment would have been very nice.
