This apartment was perfect for our first visit to Lisbon. With only three full days in town, the location was ideal - close to great restaurants, bars and shops but on the second floor it was far enough away from the party noise so that we were able to get a good night's rest. Joao was a very kind and generous host. He met us at the door, helped with our bags and spent some time giving his personal recommendations for where to eat, some things to do and how to best enjoy this beautiful city - walk and eat, walk and eat! A favorite moment was enjoying a glass of wine at dusk, watching from the balcony the neighborhood folks gather in the street below at the end of the day and just experiencing being immersed in another way of living. We very much enjoyed our stay, this apartment was very good value and we definitely recommend Joao's place.
