We had a great time at Joao's apartment for a week this summer. Joao was completely flexible in what time we arrived and left the apartment, which was so helpful as we landed at midnight! The apartment was clean and full of useful things such as tea, coffee and towels and toiletries.
There were many small shops nearby and lots of pretty cafes, as well as the metro stop being a 2 minute walk away.
The apartment was decorated beautifully and Joao was happy to answer any queries we had. I hope to stay here again soon.
