We had a great stay at Joao's place. It has a very central location in Barrio Alto - walkable distance to nearby attractions, close to public transport, and near so many amazing restaurants and bars! The apartment itself is small but comfortable. It does not face the street so it is quiet and peaceful. There's a small kitchenette with kettle, microwave, toaster which is great for breakfast and light snacks (there is no stove though, but there are so many restaurants nearby that this is not an issue). There is no washing machine, but there's a laundromat across the road if needed. I'd definitely recommend this apartment!
