We felt so lucky to stay at João’s AirBNB - it was beautiful! An amazing location, simple, stylish decor, all the amenities and resources you would ever need plus some really nice finer details (João left us a bottle of wine as a gift, which we enjoyed on our 2nd night there). Additionally, the building was very secure and all of the helpful little notes that João left around his place were in 3 languages. He is clearly a very experienced host and literally thought of everything in terms of the experience he provides.
João provided many helpful recommendations both at his place (in the form of a guidebook he created) and while we were in communication prior to our trip.
His responses were always timely and very friendly! He was a pleasure to interact with.
We enjoyed the area so much that we asked him if we could check out a few hours later than the communicated time and he was more than accommodating - making us feel continually welcome and at ease to continue exploring!
This place is a gem and well worth the price (which we felt was incredibly reasonable!). Also, be sure to check out the restaurant that is nearly next door - Boteco da Linha - great food, great service, very charming!
