My boyfriend and I stayed at Joao’s apartment for a few days and it simply wasn’t enough. By the end of our trip it felt like home and we even extended our holiday - that’s how good an experience we had there. Joao had a difficult time with the previous guests and still went out of his way to get the apartment ready for our arrival, and was then available for any help we needed the rest of the trip, going above and beyond to give us recommendations.
The apartment itself is unique and beautifully renovated, with tonnes of natural light and a simple yet homely aesthetic. The balcony was generously large with a view of the river that amazed us every morning. The elevator was incredibly helpful and the entire building well kept. The place is also a lovely walk into the centre - easily only a fifteen minute stroll along the beach front or back streets.
We don’t have enough kind things to say about this property, and immediately tried to book again. Understandably, it was fully booked! After so long in lockdown and never having been on holiday as a couple, we could not have asked for a better host nor apartment. If you get the chance to stay here, definitely take it!
