We had a great time at Joao and Vera's place. It was very cosy, clean and the location was awesome. Vera gave us a good introduction as to what we could do in the city, which was very helpful. She also welcomed us for our check-in, even though our flight arrived late in the evening. And she had bought some little snacks and coffee for the morning, which was really kind.
We would gladly come back to stay in the apartment!
Thank you for the pleasant experience!
