João is such an amazing warm and friendly host - great communication beforehand to let us know how to get to the apartment, and when we arrived, lots of really useful information about the local area and recommendations on places to go. The apartment is so beautiful - my friend and I loved the space, light, furnishings and artwork, and especially the terrace which was a great place to sit and enjoy the sunshine with drinks and listen to local life going on below. The apartment is super clean, the beds were comfortable and the apartment has everything you need including a hairdryer and plenty of toiletries, and we especially loved the 70s record player / radio which is tuned to a great jazz station. You don't really need to take a guidebook if you're planning a visit to João's apartment - he's got plenty of printed guides available, and even better, the guestbooks are full of recommendations on places to eat / things to see from previous guests - a really nice touch. We're already planning a return to Lisbon later in the year, so hope this place is available as we loved it so much. Obrigada João!
