Joao's place is exceptionally well located, an easy walk into Baixa, Alfama, Chaido, etc. We enjoyed the 2 updated modern bathrooms (though one has a bit of an odor issue). The master bedroom is perfect with comfortable large mattress, air conditioning, ceiling fan, en suite modern bathroom, and large closet area just outside the bedroom door. The main living space has tall ceilings and multiple wonderful large opening doors, and when these very heavy duty, quality doors and shutters were closed there was no night-time noise problem whatsoever, despite the unit's central location. The place is decorated in a thoughtful way with many nice amenities, but you should know the living room furniture and other guest beds are quite firm. Joao and Rachel were great hosts and helpful whenever contacted. All in all, the place is an incredible value and we would stay here again.
