Joana and Joao were amazing hosts! We LOVED the little flat so much that we stayed an extra two nights. The loft apartment was fully equipped with everything we needed and we were able to do laundry while there (a big bonus when you are travelling for two months). The view from the balcony was incredible and the area of town was quiet and had many little winding cobble stone streets that were fun to explore. Joana had a lovely bottle of local wine for us and some breakfast food as we arrived late in he evening (so thoughtful). We also loved the city of Lisbon. So many amazing places to explore. Alfama, Belem (go get the pastries there), the square downtown full of music and freshly roasted chestnuts. We found a sweet little local restaurant that turned out to be one of the highlights of the stay (Cash Da India). Also, we went to see amazing and authentic Fado music at a place called "Casa Da Mariquinhas" just a five minute walk from the flat. They do music on Thursdays and possibly other days. I would highly recommend this location!
