João is the perfect host. He was in constant contact leading up to the trip, arranged pickup from the airport when we landed in Lisbon, was super patient when we had a little delay at the airport, and welcomed us with open arms when we arrived to the apartment. He walked through the apartment with us and showed us how everything works. Got the map out and showed us where we were, where to eat, what to see and do while in Lisbon. Everything is walkable - the castle, the lift, beautiful Alfama district and great nightlife and restaurants in Bairro Alto. His uncle, Antonio, transported us to and from the airport (also super accommodating and patient when we were delayed) and also took us on a day trip to Sintra for a great price! He is full of information about Portugal. The whole experience was perfect and I can't wait to come back and visit Portugal again!
