We've had a great experience with Joao, his friends and his place. Silvia picked us up from the airport, told us all the important infos, showed us how to get around. Apartment was very nice and cozy. Clean and fully equipped beyond our expectations. We didn't cook or wash and dry our clothes, but if we needed to, everything needed was there. I specially enjoyed the coffee machine with coffee ready for each morning. Location in a tiny street within the castle area is really special, something we could never experience in any hotel. We've had a great stay!
