We had a great stay in Joao's apartment. It was perfect for the 2 of us and had everything we needed. The air conditioning was very effective and absolutely essential as we were there for the record-breaking heat in August. We really liked the neighbourhood which isn't grand but felt safe at night. All communication with Joao went very smoothly smooth and he was there to greet us at the apartment. We really appreciated his offer to let us check out late too.
