Joao was so helpful upon arrival - meeting us promptly at the apartment and showing us how to work everything. He had provided fruit juice, cheese, wine, bread and port for us - so very generous! He also had 2 books filled with information from previous clients with recommendations for restaurants and fun things to do. The neighborhood was very lively and fun but did not disturb our sleep at all. The location was a great jumping off spot for everything - the train, restaurants, the water front.
