Gonçalo is a perfect host, I stayed for seven weeks and he did not only respond very fast whenever I messaged him but he also regularly checked in on me and did everything he could to help me with any problems. The flat is very nice and clean and has everything you might need for a long term stay. The only thing that was giving me some trouble were the guests in the flat above, they were very loud and regularly woke me up at night on weekdays, but after they were gone I didn’t have any similar problems with the guests after them. So, yes you can hear a lot especially from the flat above, I guess because it‘s an old house, but if the neighbors are alright it is fine. Overall I was very happy with everything and I would recommend it :)
