Don’t be put off by the urban exterior of João’s boutique hotel. The rooms are on the small side but perfectly furnished, the hospitality is amazing, the breakfast is fantastic, and the location next to a metro stop is so key. João was so helpful and responsive, and gave us thoughtful tips that fit our time and interests. His colleagues were lovely, the neighborhood was quiet, and we’re going to be staying there again. If you’re looking for no-stress headquarters for your trip to Lisbon, stay with João.
