This apartment was a delight from the first moment. (And it was such a relief to get to it, with Joao's help, after the madness of the airport and the long climb up.)
Joao was a great help in getting us up the hill and the stairs and then in finding us a pharmacy to give advice and treatment for my wife's apparent eye infection.
We were very comfortable there and had ample space in which not only to sleep and eat but also to use our laptops. The kitchen had more than we needed (one would be crazy to do much cooking in a food town like Lisbon), and what we did use worked perfectly.
Our only regret is that we never got to use the patio. We were both out all day, every day, and the weather was also a bit cold for sitting outdoors. But we imagined ourselves sitting out there on a return trip, which we would try to time so we could stay once again at Joao and Monica's wonderful place.
