As a first time Airbnb user, this was a great experience. Joao is a friendly, wonderful host and the apartment is excellent. It is very centrally located: within walking distance to shops, restaurants, supermarkets as well as the Metro and train station. The apartment is very clean, well maintained and stocked with all the amenities needed for a holiday. Joao provides a lot of very useful information about the area as well as recommendations for tours, points of interest and restaurants in the area. He is very easy to communicate with and responds promptly to any questions or concerns. He is flexible with check in and check out timings and the airport service that he organizes with Antonio (who is very friendly and also provides lots of local information) is hard to beat. Overall a wonderful experience and we would definitely recommend Joao and his apartment in the city center! Thank you, Joao!
