We loved staying at João's home - it was in an ideal location central to great food, drinks, and shopping. The home felt spacious with its high ceilings and was well furnished with stylish decor. Location felt safe with the code entry to both the building and unit. I learned that the Portuguese love to stay up and out - the main street by the home ranged from populated to bustling even on week nights. You could hear some of the buzz, but for me, it added to the experience of living in the heart of the city (vs being in a place that was dead silent). João provided detailed instructions for check in which made it a breeze and he was fairly responsive when we did have some questions. Overall, this was a great home base for our weeklong stay in Lisbon and we had a lovely first time in Portugal!
