We had a wonderful stay in Joao's place. We were met promptly by Raquel who was very friendly and made us feel very welcomed. The apartment has incredible views from the little terrace and the kitchen. There is a lot of natural lighting from all the other windows, which we were able to open for a nice breeze throughout the apartment. The location is great, walking distance to many restaurants. The Baixa elevator is close by to get you up and down some of the hillier areas. The area is very picturesque and charming. The steps to the apartment and bedroom were steep but worth it!
