What an amazing spot! You'll not find more amazing hosts! There's almost an overload of available insider information and tips to the neighborhood, the city, places to eat, how to get around, what to see, etc etc. Isabel and Joao are so warm and welcoming, eager to show off their city and to make sure that your stay is the best ever. The neighborhood has a neighborhood feel, but is close enough to the siteseeing locations that you don't feel too far removed. Fresh pasteis de nata were waiting for us at the apartment, along with recommendations for where to find/try some of the best of these local delicacies in town. Everything was spotless, great amenities for every detail, from coffee making options (a french press, my favorite!) to wine bottle openers (my other favorite!), and a full kitchen setup. But beyond that, when I left my camera in the back of an Uber, Isabel and Joao acted as intermediaries to communicate with the driver for me since he didn't speak English. Above and beyond, in every way possible! When we go back, if their apartment is available, we would stay with them again a million times over before trying to stay somewhere else! If I could give it 6 stars out of 5, I would!
