Joana and Joao's place is awesome! The apartment is very spacious, super clean and bright. The bedroom is in the back which keeps it cool, and it's easy to make a draft between the front and the back so you never suffer from the warmth. The patio is a major bonus and we used it all the time during our week there.
Beyond the great apartment, Joana's welcome really sets this place apart - very personal and warm but unobtrusive, with very nice little touches (I leave you the surprise). Equipment is great - there even was a parasol to take to the beach!
Finally - the location is perfect! in the heart of things but without the noise or any of the inconvenience. Five stars!
