I stayed at João's place for the marathon weekend. João was superbly thoughtful throughout my experience. A few days before I was set to depart, I had an accident with my reservation. João worked quickly to resolve what he could from his end, which I greatly appreciated. He also offered me all of the information that I required for the marathon (which train to take, how to pick up my bib, etc). This alleviated a lot of unnecessary stress before race day. Recognizing that I may be sore after the race, he offered to let me check out at a later time - a tremendously considerate gesture. The flat itself is impeccably clean and organized. Every amenity is accounted for. I never had to make an errand to pick up a missing object. Moreover, the neighborhood was safe, quiet, central, and close to some great cafes. I really lucked out with booking João's place, and would highly recommend it to everyone. Even my family, who had booked a high-end hotel for their stay, were jealous!
