We had a great time staying in João's apartment! The place was awesome and located near so many great places, there is even a bakery across the street. Make sure while you stay there that you visit Zapata- which is a place that was recommended to us by João's friend Sinara. Although we weren't able to meet João in person he checked in on us via message during our stay to make sure everything was going well! His friend Sinara was lovely when she let us into the apartment and showed us how everything worked! The apartment was lovely and had such a great view of such a beautiful city!
