We can't say enough positive things about Joao, as he was the perfect host! He met us and brought us to the apartment, and went above and beyond helping us with luggage (as I am pregnant).
The apartment was in a perfect location, close to everything! It was clean, and well supplied with all the amenities we needed, including lots if towels and pillows which was a treat. Kitchen is also well supplied.
We were very comfortable there and felt very safe.
Joao made awesome recommendations for lunch and dinner, and used a map to show us the closest grocery store and nearby attractions.
Joao was the perfect host, because he was friendly, helpful and put in extra effort to make sure our stay was perfect, such as messaging during our stay to make sure we were well and enjoying ourselves.
Two things to note, are that there is no air conditioning, however there is a fan which helps a bit. Also, we found night time very noisy, and were often woken by people on the street.
Highly recommend this accommodation, and Joao!
