We stayed a week in September!Exactly as pictured! Excellent location! We loved the neighbourhood! We had flown in very early 8AM and João was kind enough to have us coordinate with Paula to meet us and allow us to leave our luggage / check in early! We must add that the 3 flights of steps are quite steep and could be a challenge & a workout if you have heavy luggage! We made it!!!... but it was tough! The bed is super comfortable and the wifi flawless and fast! Shower strong and hot!
