Maria and João were absolutely fantastic hosts and their home is very beautiful and in a perfect location. It was very close to the airport as well as the metro stop. It’s easy to get to the main city center (via a nice stroll or using the metro) with the benefit of being away from the big crowded areas. Great water pressure in the shower and the hot water was perfect for when we returned after a rainy day exploring the city. The check-in instructions were very easy to follow too. Their library room is equipped with many entertaining toys and books for kids. We appreciate their many small thoughtful touches like the lovely welcome gifts, messaging us from time to time to see how we’re doing, and allowing us to check in early. We were touched by their kindness in reaching out to see if we wanted to check out later since the weather called for rain. Thank you, Maria and João!
