We stayed at this apartment for about a month and had a great time. We were both working, and the wifi was very reliable. Joao was very responsive but honestly we didn't have to chat with him much because the apartment was in very good shape. The location was even better than we realized before showing up. Everything was close, and leaving the apartment every day felt like being part of every tourist's photo shoot. We expected the street to be loud given some reviews here, but honestly since this is a top-floor apartment, there was very little noise, especially in the bedrooms. We were sad to leave.
