The photos don't lie, the apartment was styled perfectly and was a great place to call home in Lisbon.

Joana was so welcoming and despite my miscommunication, she was accommodating to my date change and turned up on time to hand us the keys. Joana had the house stocked with juices, coffee, water and all the amenities of a running household so we were never left wanting. But beyond all this, she was even willing to let us do laundry for no extra charge (some host had wanted 10EUR for 1 single small load in Barcelona), which i thought was so nice and really went above and beyond her job as a host.

The house is located to very conveniently, you are a 10min walk (albeit uphill, take it as daily cardio) from Campo Luis Camoes and from the a short walk will bring you the the main shopping district and metro.

The only snag was the hot water system which Joana warned us about, it fluctuates from freezing to boiling hot in a matter of seconds so while showering it was a complex strategy of constantly shifting the handle from hot to cold and trying to bathe in the transition in between. But its a very small snag.

If i return to Lisbon, Joana's place would be atop the accommodation wishlist.
