We had a nice week in Joana's appartment! She was very friendly and helped us with information by e-mail before our arrival. She welcomed us at the flat and showed us everything. When the internet connection (important for us because of work) didn't function at first, she was available through SMS and helped us out quickly. So we could start feeling at home.

The flat is basic and colorful as the pictures show and has a great green view from the balcony. The kitchen is a bit small but everything you need is there, we cooked a couple of meals there. The bathroom has a good shower.

The flat has a nice location in a residential neighbourhood, which is not fancy but just down to earth with lots of shops in the vicinity. There's also good places where you can eat nearby. At night it's suprisingly quiet. The building is old (the flat is on the third floor with no elevator) and noisy but at night everybody sleeps so it was fine.

As it was December and quite cold at night, we needed the heaters that Joana provided. They worked well. It took a while before we could get the hot water going, and Joana offered to help, but from the second day we had no more problems.

The flat is a great starting point for exploring the city, as it's near an underground stop (good connection to the airport and train station) and also at walking distance from the city centre. We did a lot of walking and enjoyed getting to know Lisbon, which we like very much. We also did some running at a nearby park.

All in all a good experience, and we can heartily recommend Joana as a host!
