João is a great host. Our stay was very comfortable at his apartment. It is centrally located and everything is within walking distance. Shops, restaurants, supermarket, taxi-stand, and the stops for the trams and buses. The apartment is stocked with all the basic amenities - microwave, toaster, cooking stove, dishwasher & washing machine. He even arranged an airport pick up to his residence (for Eur 20) with his local contact, who we also used for a half day sightseeing tour later. Would recommend his apartment if you want to be in the city center.
