We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Joao's apartment. The location was fantastic - a block from the Metro station and a handy market on the corner. Maria was there to greet us for our early check-in and we were able to get a late check-out. The apartment was perfect for 2 couples and it was nice to have 2 bathrooms. We had a question about one of the showers the first day and Joao came over within hours to help us. This is a great apartment - great location, very clean, reasonably priced and helpful hosts.
