Joao is an amazing host with an equally amazing apartment. The location was perfect, everything we wanted to do within the city was walking distance and the subways/train were super easy to get out of it. The pictures on the balcony don't do it justice, it's a beautiful view and you can even see the water from it. Joao gave us great recommendations for things to do while we were there and was always available. I would recommend this apartment to anyone (unless you're handicapped, the stairs to get up to the apartment on the 4th floor are quite steep) and would definitely stay here again.
