Joao's apartment was very nice, spacious, and decorated. We had everything we needed to do basic things in the kitchen for a short visit. It's a prime location in a great neighborhood and Joao gave good directions to find it from the airport. We visited during winter, and it gets pretty cold in most of the buildings in Porto. But Joao had a couple of high quality space heaters plugged in when we arrived that kept the place nice and toasty. It was totally comfortable despite the cold outside.
