Joao's apartment is really good for a couple or small family who are spending a few days to see Lisbon and surroundings. It has a comfortable bed, very adequate kitchen with dish washer and washing machine. It's central location is very good for local sites and easy access to transport to the rest of the city. There are some noisy neighborhood bars, but the double-glazed windows blocked the noise. Joao was most helpful in arranging for transport (his uncle Antonio) from and back to the airport, and for a day trip to Sintra. He provided great advice on places to see, getting around and on restaurants. He even, kindly, printed off some concert tickets for us. A good experience.
