Joao was great, and if anything, the flat is nicer than the photos show! He welcomed us at the flat with a bottle of wine which was lovely.

Joao gave us some great recommendations for places to eat and a lot of information for the area which was really helpful. The location is right in the middle of all the bars and restaurants in Bairro Alto, so as long as you're expecting some noise in the evening, the location is perfect (bring earplugs for sleeping). We didn't need to contact him during our stay, but he made himself really available, which was a nice touch.
