We loved having Joao's apartment as our home away from home while in Portugal! It was just perfect and as described. The apartment is very comfortable and has everything you need, while being in a perfect location! It was a short walk to the sites of Lisbon (including Castelo Sao Jorge which sits on the hill above) as well as wonderful shops and restaurants. Communication with Joao was quick, and check in and out with Joao's father Manuel was very easy (and the welome pasteis were delicious!). We also appreciated Manual's suggestions for local travel and attractions. We would certainly recommend the apartment to anyone and stay there again ourselves!
