We stayed in Joel's place for a month and it was amazing! The apartment is very spacious, had everything we needed for a longer stay. Everything was REALLY clean and many things felt like brand new. Joel was always responsive and helpful, his mum who welcomed us didn't speak English but we managed without any issues. We got fresh towels and linen during our stay. The internet is not very fast (around 30 Mbps) but it is stable and it was ok for work. The view from the apartment of the mountains and eucalyptus trees is really nice and the neighbours across the street have a few animals (pigs, pony) that I loved watching. There's a garage but we didn't use it as the parking in front of the building always had plenty of space. The apartment gets cold during winter (we stayed in February) but the air conditioning does a good job heating (although bedrooms don't have separate units and are slightly colder than the living room). The location is peaceful and close to Porto. Highly recommend!
