Family vacation of four days at Joao's place, the flat was exactly as on the pictures, if not better in real! We were nicely welcome, with a friend of Joao waiting for us on the front door, and with a bottle of wine and water in the living room. Also, his friend gave us some advices on what to see around. The decoration is great, the common spaces very appreciated and big enough to spend time together, the rooms are not huge but largely enough to sleep and feel comfortable, we didn't used the kitchen but it had everything you need. The water system is quite noisy, when shower or toilet, but that's okay. The location of the flat is super central, few steps away from the Porta del Sol place, the famous yellow tram is just in front of the building, so great location. The windows actually isolate a lot of the noise from the street and tram, however not completely, so if you are a light sleeper, take one of the two rooms on the other side of the flat. Anyway if you are too warm, no need to open the windows, there are private fans in each room. A good plus, Joao was very reactive to our messages, which was greatly appreciated. The check out went perfect, we could leave our luggages at the flat until our departure for the airport, which was very convenient. In summary, we had a great stay and I would highly recommend Joao's place!
