I like these reviews because they hopefully help others make their decisions on where to stay. For me, personally, Joao’s Place was basically perfect. The Twin room was small but perfect for one person. The location was also great. Not in the busy part of Lisbon but on a quiet street in a nice neighborhood with everything you need nearby, particularly the Metro stop and a very large, comprehensive supermarket in the bottom level of the Cortes Ingles mall, both only one block away. You can get there directly from the airport on the Red metro line and you’re within a block of the Joao’s. The place itself is kept exceptionally clean and the live in tenant Vera will make sure everything is great. I particularly liked the beautiful hardwood floors and staircase. Hard to find in the US. That said, the only minus is the place itself has six rooms available to rent on one floor so theoretically it can be a bit loud should it be occupied with loud talkers. That was not the case while I was there, everyone was respectful of each other’s space. If you are a light sleeper and a toilet flushing in the middle of the night might wake you up some earplugs will help. In no way would that minor convenience distract me from staying there again. The positives were overwhelming.
