João and Marta were both very helpful and flexible in accommodating our travel schedule. Marta greeted us at the door on our arrival and was very friendly and helpful. She gave us her phone number and was readily available the one or two times that we had requests. The hosts were definitely 5 stars!

The lodging was just as described. There were only four of us, so we had LOTS of space. The neighborhood is very conveniently located with great access to hundreds of really nice restaurants. It was generally fairly quiet as well, although we did have some noisy neighbors the first night (noisy enough that I had to drop a star from the rating), but the apartment was clean and comfortable and had a great feel to it.

Renters should be aware that there is only one shower in the apartment (as is stated in the description). This wasn't a problem for our group, but might be something to consider for larger groups.

Bottom line—we would definitely stay here again.
