We stayed two weeks Joao's apartment for summer vacation. The apartment is close to Rato station so you can easily explore the city and e.g. travel to the beach. Everything you need like supermarket, bakery, etc. is very close. So daily life is uncomplicated and relaxed. The apartment is beautiful and cosy and getting not so hot during the summer month. We enjoyed the wonderful patio and relaxed in the hammock. On our first day Laura gave us a lovely welcome and showed us everything we need to know. She and Joao took care that we felt comfortable and answered all our questions coming up during the stay asap. They were a great help. Thank you so much for your hospitality and perfect organization!
