We had a very nice stay at Joao’s. Sinara came out to show us the apartment although it was quite late in the evening, and the area is great for going out in Barrio alto or just cafe & restaurant hopping in the area. The mill & hello Kristof were two of my favorite cafes both within 5 min walk - more hipster & local, and less touristy if you like the vibe.
The only problem we had was the electricity kept shutting off although my boyfriend and I were neither using the hair dryer or cooking. So we keep having to turn it back on from the fuse box, which was a bit of inconvenience. Other than that, nothing to complain & had a great holiday.
