João was a great host. There really isn't enough nice things to say about him. He walked us to a great breakfast spot when we arrived, and called a cab for us when we left to go home... As for the apartment itself. It's very nicely decorated (the pictures really do not do it any justice) with a nice terrace in back to sit and enjoy a morning meal or a glass of wine at dusk. It's perfectly situated in Bairro Alto which really comes alive after 7. If you're a light sleeper this may not be the place for you, but for my girlfriend and I and really anyone else who likes to be in the midst of great food, great bars, great music, and great night life, you won't want to pass this gem up.
