Joao's place is fantastic. I highly recommend his place for anyone looking to be close to the nightlife. It was fun watching all the people migrating from Barrio Alto down to Pink Street to continue their night out. Time Out market is close by too and a great place to sample all the cuisine that Lisbon has to offer. Another great unexpected perk was that there's a luggage storage facily literally right around the corner from the apartment, perfect for those arriving to Lisbon ahead of check in time, maybe 100-200 meters from the front door of the apartment.
