The place is stunning. I don't have a bad word to say about the flat itself. Nonethless, we have been robbed a few hours after we arrived at Joao's place, and we were inside the flat when it happened, the door was shut but not locked . We have lost £1500 worth of goods (Macbook air has been stolen, a speaker and my house keys). The flat is above a hostel and so people would ring on the door by accident, but in this case it looks like an elaborate scheme to check if anyone is inside the flat (which was the case with us). Joao, who I never met in person as he has people working for him, mentioned the police in Lisbon has warned him of such practices. We wish we had been warned as well by either Joao or his staff. No one mentioned we had to lock ourselves when we were awake inside the flat, and of course you could say this was careless of us (?) but what bothers us the most is that we have no evidence that the person who entered the flat did not have a spare key.
