Joao was an amazing host. He greeted us on the street and carried our bags up to the apartment, and then took us on a short walking tour of the area so we could be familiar with everything the neighborhood had to offer.
At check out, we had to catch an early flight at 4 a.m., Joao called and made the taxi reservations for us, saving us a bit of stress, and was once again there to carry our bags down and see us off.
The apartment was well furnished, very clean, and very close to the attractions. It didn't have air conditioning, but we didn't need it. With the widows open, it was a very comfortable night of sleep even in the middle of July.
The WiFi wasn't the greatest, but it worked and was free so we really can't complain too much.
Great place to stay!
