We were 2 couples who were happy with our stay at João's apartment. He was prompt with all my queries and had a list of personal recommendations of attractions, restaurants, cafes eyc, which were useful. The free bottle of wine was a lovely welcome.
The apartment is near a street full of night life, which was good for us. It's within walking distance to the river and the Timeout Market, which is an advantage. Overall, we were all happy with our stay, and would stay here again.
