Joao and Vera were amazing hosts. Not only could we "check in" when we arrived from the airport, but Vera gave us loads of tips and tricks - things to see and do, places to eat, even cheaper ways of getting around. The apartment was immaculate! Perfectly renovated, bright, light and nicely decorated in blue (we had the blue windmill apartment). Location was perfect, Metro really close by and we didn't really mind walking up the hills to be in a lively neighbourhood. On our last day we were also able to "check out" late - our flight wasn't until 18:00 and we wanted to at least do something with the day we had left. Really an amazing experience, would definitely visit them again! Highly recommend!
