Just returned from a stay at João's apartment. Excellent stay in a lovely location. Prior to the stay João kept us up to date and was always quick to reply to any questions; also greeted us with a lovely bottle or Portuguese wine and introduced us to the apartment.
We arrived on a Saturday and João did warn us that as we are in a bar area (one downstairs) the music could be noisy into the night and helpfully left ear defenders for us (although there was noise, we did not need them) the rest of the stay there was little to no noise in the evening.
The apartment is well laid out with comfy bed and has everything you could need; the back terrace is great, but we did not a chance to use due to the weather we had.
Can't fault the location right in the Bairro Alto area with plenty of eating and watering spots.
We would definitely recommend the apartment and would (and will) book again as there is a lot to see and do in Lisbon.
Best Regards
Sue & James
