Joao was a wonderful host, meeting us at the airport and introducing us to the apartment. The apartment is very well set up, bright, clean and beautifully presented. The location is convenient to transport, and the neighbourhood good, with plenty of food options. The 78 steps up to the 4th floor (no lift) didn't bother us, but meant privacy and quiet. We had a fantastic 3 night stay, and would highly recommend Joao's apartment.
