First, the host, Joaquim. We did not get the opportunity to meet Joaquim because he was on vacation. But we did have several email exchanges with him. Joaquim was extremely cordial, helpful, and welcoming. Could not have been better.

His charming friend Nuno greeted us at the apartment on arrival. Nuno was very warm and welcoming, and gave us loads of info, showed us everything about the apartment. While we were there, we contacted Nuno with other questions and he again gave quick, complete, helpful responses. Nuno even bought bread, cheese, juice, and some lunch meat and had it at the apartment for us to get us started. WOW!

The apartment was superb: sleek, modern, squeaky clean, furnished with anything you could possibly need, and with a stunning view especially from the roof terrace. Third floor secured building with elevator. Actually, even better than we expected from the pictures. The neighborhood is perfect: charming, quiet, very convenient to everything without being in the thick of tourists.

There is nothing that could have been better! Thanks Nuno and Joaquim.
