João's apartment is the perfect base for exploring Lisbon.
The apartment really is better than is captured in the photos - it's easy to tell João is an interior designer. While small, the space has been used really well and you wouldn't want for anything for longer stays. It's a bit of a climb to the fourth floor.
The location is wonderful - just moments from Baixa-Chiada, and on the edge of Alfama. Most of central Lisbon's tourist hotspots are in easy walking distance - Portas do Sol, Arco da Rua Augusta, Tram 28 etc. The area is also full of good restaurants.
The mini balcony gave welcome access to fresh air on some very hot days.
