This space is amazing. Seriously. I think this is the first time with AirBNB that the photos actually did a disservice to how charming the space is. I think it's usually the opposite by varying degrees. The decor is lovely, the layout totally unique, and I had some really great moments with a glass of wine out on the balcony. This is a great value.

Joao was very helpful and responsive to my questions and was extra forgiving when I had to change our meeting time not once but twice.

OH and I forgot to say: The location is as good as it gets. It's just slightly off the busier streets in Bairro Alto so while there's some noise it was never a problem for sleep.

I highly recommend this apartment.
