We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and found everything was as per the listing. The neighbourhood was central, but happily, not overly touristy, and the apartment was a wonderful place to relax after a big day of walking/sightseeing. Although we didn't meet Joao in person, the check-in/check-out process was very smooth, and he was kind enough to provide a comprehensive list of local recommendations. We found there to be many cosy coffee shops, cafes, interesting stores and restaurants all within walking distance.
