I booked this place last minute, Joao was very accommodating. We had no definite arrival time as we were driving in from Spain. He was always available! The apartment is indeed cozy... I'm a bit tall for the bedroom (5'7) to stand up straight. The apartment had everything we needed for our two night stay. Shower was good, bed was good, pillows a bit soft, but had an adorable back yard! Not many windows, so a bit dark in the winter... I'm sure in the summer it is a relief!
