Staying at Joao's place was great. We stayed for 3 nights. It's 15 min walk from the airport so very handy. Everything was clean and tidy and he had some great advice for off the beaten track places to visit. We ate together and enjoyed his company! We didnt have access in to the house whenever we want because we didnt have keys, but it worked out fine organising in advance with him and he was very amenable. We would stay again in the future and can definitely recommend his place.
