We stayed there just for one night before we went back home. Before we arrived Joana contacted us to asked for our arrival time from Porto. Although we arrived later than expected and couldn't contact Joana (so she had to come twice to the appartment) she welcomed us in a vey friendly way. She explainded everything to us and showed us the other rooms. We liked our room although it was a bit warm at night. However, there is a fan inside which we didn't use. The bathrooms were clean and spacious. The room is a much better choice than staying in a hostel and we could imagine that staying there for a longer time would also be no problem- although you share the kitchen and the bathroom with other guests you still have the privacy of having your own room.
