Joao's wife welcomed us very friendly in their apartment. She was already awaiting us at the doorstep when we arrived and gave us a few nice tips. There were also a map and some cool tourist guides available. We got a lot of nice bars and restaurants out of that guides. Apartment is quite big for 2 people, a little dark (which was a good thing, because it stayed cool inside while temperatures were rising high outside) and sometimes a little noisy when other residents came in. But that didn't really bother us. Location is good. In Lisbon we didn't even use public transport, went everywhere by foot. We only took a train to Carcavelos (beach). We would certainly recommend this place!
