Our stay with Joao was fantastic, we couldn't recommend it enough! The apartment is beautiful, really spacious, clean and cool even in the hottest of Lisbon's heat! We were a group of six staying for the Nos Alive festival and found the flat to be perfect for a Lisbon city holiday. The location is fantastic - the apartment is walking distance to lots of great places to eat and drink (including lots of cafes to sample the pastel de natas) and is close to the first stop of the number 28 tram.

Check-in was very flexible and easy, and upon arrival Joao and his friend Filipe left us some Portugese port as a gift which was both delicious and very kind.

I'd also like to say a special thank you to Joao and Filipe for returning some items I left in the apartment. The day after we'd arrived home I realised we'd left a few pairs of sunglasses and a camera, all of which Joao returned to me safely and quickly, and he insisted on paying for the postage.

I would highly recommend staying with Joao, and we hope that when we return to Lisbon next year we'll be able to return to his lovely apartment once more.
