I chose the place by the location studying the map. It was our first time in Lisbon. No need to regret, all in all it was great! The location is superb, the highest point in Lisbon and the view outside the house is all over Lisbon (Miradouro da Senhora do Monte). Be ready to walk uphill the cobblestone streets! The famous tram 28 rides nearby. Communication with Joao was easy, we didn't meet him personally, but there was a person (thank you Riu!) to attend to us.
The apartment is downstairs and there is no view, but you do get out to the large terrace with high walls. The apartment is really spacious and bright thanks to two wall size big windows, all one large area, the kitchen was handy enough, the bathroom could have some maintenance but there was hot water whenever needed!
Unfortunately we had to leave Lisbon earlier than expected because of COVID-19 causing flights being cancelled etc. and could not fully enjoy our holiday. If one day do I return to Lisbon, I would be happy to stay again in this cosy apartment! Thank you, Joao!
