Me and my friend were at Joao's apartment for a long term stay (1 month) and it was sooo comfortable! We probably have slightly different needs than most (short term) tourists, like a good place to work from and lots of pots and pans for cooking, and this apartment had all of that! Plus all the other things you really appreciate but don't want to expect - like a really hot shower, a good full body mirror and an extra comfy bed! Since we were visiting at a very odd time with a lot of local Covid restrictions/curfews, all of these things became extra important. Also, Joao was super easy to communicate with and very attentive to things that came up. Last, the location is literally in the city center so you can walk anywhere, or if you wanna venture out a bit it's also walking distance to the trains. Would definitely stay here if I came again!
