João was a great host. Although he was not able to receive us in person, he provided very clear instructions for check in. We were able to meet him on our departure and he helped us with our luggage and calling a cab. The place is very clean and comfortable. Good location, close to transportation and walking distance to many sightseeing places. If you have limited mobility note that there is no elevator and the apartment is on the 2nd floor. I would recommend that if you bring big suitcases or a lot of bags you take a cab instead of public transportation since Lisbon’s streets are in cobblestones and the apartment is on a higher part of the city (many slopes).
