My husband and I stayed in João's apartment for a weekend; it is within walking distance from the metro as well as many nice little restaurants and cafes. The apartment is small but cozy - perfect for a single person or a couple to stay in. It was bright and extremely clean. We especially liked Alfama and when we return to Lisbon, I think we will likely chose this area again.

My husband and I were warmly received by João on arrival. We showed up a little early and the cleaning person was still preparing the apartment, so we just slipped around the corner for a coffee to wait for everything to be ready. (There are many excellent little cafes only steps away!) João is a great host; he was very easy to communicate with and the entire process was extremely smooth and pleasant. I wouldn't hesitate to stay at João's apartment again or to recommend it to a friend.
