Joana and Joao's apartment was very well maintained and very clean. The kitchen was very well stocked in terms of utensils as was the bathroom. Unfortunately our stay was heavily impacted upon by the street parties that took place on Friday and Saturday nights when we were there. Joana and Joao did inform us of this two days prior to arrival and offered to refund us but unfortunately I did not have the time to look for another apartment. The street parties involved several outside bars/BBQ areas immediately outside the flat and the music was incredibly loud even inside with the windows closed. This lasted till about 2am but people kept partying in the street till about 4-5am. Also the flat above has workmen in during the day (and on Saturday) so getting rest during the day was also tricky. I believe these festivals only run during June so normally I think this is not an issue. If you are planning on visiting another time I would recommend this as its location is very good and the apartment is clean and Joana and Joao are very professional. However outside of their control is the festivals which if you're planning on going to then this is the flat for you as you could not be closer.
