Joana’s place is gorgeous. Really a place to settle in and enjoy. The gardens are gorgeous and a great place to eat, commune, and relax. The apartment is spotless. The beds very comfortable. Great kitchen and living room. My family loved staying there and the area is great for walking; eating and shopping. Don’t miss the Fado concerts in the Cistern at the park just up on the Principal Real. It is the best Fado in town and the acoustics are extraordinary. Great restaurants all around. The only thing I would take into consideration is there are many late night clubs in the area and in the Summer if you want to keep the windows open that might be a bit loud. In cooler months it won’t make a difference as the windows truly seal out the outside sounds. We would definitely come back to Joana’s place and I highly recommend it.
