We stayed in Joana’s place for 3 months. The home is well furnished and comfortable, and has a sunny backyard. It’s close to the Roma-Areeiro train station, and the 2 closest metro stations are a 10 to 15 minute walk. There is a big park 5 minutes away. The location is a bit out-of-the-way, but there are good restaurants within 5 to 10 minutes, and many more a bit further away.
Note: As of early 2023, extensive renovations are ongoing next door and across the street, which can be pretty noisy on weekdays and often Saturday.
We had some bad luck with several items breaking down, including the dishwasher (which caused a flood), the heating and the electrical. We also had slow drainage in the bathtubs.
Although Joana tended to push back at first when we reported these problems, once she acknowledged an issue, she was quite responsive, and she got people to do repairs and cleanup in a reasonable timeframe. Despite the issues described above, we enjoyed our stay at Joana’s place.
