Joao's place was wonderful. We had an early flight so we wanted to be close to the air port, his house is an easy 15 minute walk. Joao welcomed us and gave us a tour of his beautiful house (he's an architect, it shows) and even showed us his plants! He grows Orchids as a hobby (coolest hobby ever). The bed was comfortable, the room clean. He even offered to drive us (at 4am!) If it was raining. It wasn't, but it was nice to know he was willing! Great spot for travelers.
