Joao was very friendly and met us with a cake and a bottle of wine. The apartment was very clean, but did not have a dryer as listed in the description and the bathroom was a bit cramped. The apartment is very central and near metro stations, but just above a very busy tourist street and it is noisey until late at night. We paid full listed price by instant booking weeks ahead, but were asked for additional money by the host during the stay. We had regular trouble with the key to the front door and needed neighbors to let us in.
