Had an excellent experience staying here. Joao and Raquel were always responsive, accommodating, and enthusiastic. The balcony is small but still a huge plus, especially on a sunny day when the light directly warms the house. Its close proximity to groceries and second floor location also added to convenience. A short walk led to incredible views of the river/ocean as the entire neighborhood is perched on high hills. I'd especially recommend to families and traveling couples.
