What a fantastic experience. Joao' house is beautiful and immaculate. He was warm and welcoming in so many ways. You must see his orchid collection and he will explain to you how he raises them. He built his outdoor pool and it is beautiful and charming. We are so happy that we stayed here and not at a hotel as this way you get the true experience of Lisbon. I would highly recommend to anyone...don't give it a second thought..this is the place to stay. And for convenience..he i very close to the airport and the metro.
