The apartment is spacious and open. Wonderful location, and a great base to explore Lisbon. With that said, I feel that the apartment was not ready to receive guests. Upon arrival, the floor had grainy bits everywhere, almost like sand. I had to give the floor a quick wipe so as not to walk through the apartment spreading grains everywhere - cleaning the floor is not what I expect to have to do on checking in.
Later found these specks/grains on the bed, which I had to dust off. The bed only had a top sheet. I had to get the duvet from the cupboard, and there was no duvet cover. Also, no toilet paper. Description states that apartment is cleaned daily, but during my 5 day stay, the cleaner only came once, and did not clean the bathroom at all. Personally don't think daily cleaning is necessary, however if the description states it, the expectation is there.
Joao was flexible in extending the check out time, which I'm thankful for. As mentioned to the hosts, I think if the above issues can be addressed, this would be an amazing place to stay in, as most things you'll want to see are within walking distance, and quiet for when you want some R&R. The bar just downstairs, Toca da Raposa, has great vibe and amazing cocktails!
