Joao was an excellent host. Very accommodating and helpful. Was even able to help us with small things like finding an outlet adaptor to charge our electronics. He was quick to respond and lives in the same building so very easy to reach if you need help. The place itself was very cute and cosy as described. It's low ceilings so maybe something to consider for tall people but it definitely adds to the character of the place. Also has a cool little terrace out back would be great for morning coffee/tea when the weather is nice. Location was also ideal as it was fairly central and close enough to restaurants, cafes, sites, and nightlife. It even came with a bottle of wine to begin our vacation!
