The perfect end to our vacation. I wish we had stayed at Alfiya and Joao's longer. It's a clean, spacious place with warm character in a very central area to shops and food. We were greeted by Joao who kindly showed us around the neighbourhood, recommended restaurants and helped us with our bags and coordinating a taxi in the morning. The kitchen and living room space is perfect for anyone staying awhile. Although you're close to very many restaurants, bars and cafes, the street itself is quiet, which is perfect when it's time for sleep. The mini-bar in the kitchen was a nice touch and came in handy when we wanted a beer, but didn't want to venture outside to buy one. It was extra special having my boyfriend propose to me here!
