We had the most amazing time staying at Joana’s beautiful apartment. The location is perfect, you can reach everything on foot and there is a bus stop, metro and overground train station all within 5 minutes walk. The balcony is lovely to sit on and relax whilst listening to the buskers below in the evening, and although the street is loud and bustling all day the soundproofing on the windows means it is very peaceful at night. The apartment had everything we needed and felt very safe and secure. It was spotlessly clean and very tastefully decorated. The street felt very safe even in the early hours of the morning, and everyone was very welcoming and friendly. The recommendations from both Valentim and Joana were much appreciated. A wonderful holiday start to finish :)
