Nuno's place was very well located about a 10 minute walk to the gorgeous river and 10 minute walk from the downtown area. The direct neighborhood has a grocery store, an awesome argentinean empanada place, the best burger place and people were very nice in the area. We never met Nuno or Joao in person as they were on vacation but Joao was communicative via text. He sent his friend mr. Carlos to help check in and he was very friendly. Bed was comfortable and it was a nice space. There was not much of a balcony as shown in photos and there's no elevator in the building so you have to take a few flights of stairs. Also, the upstairs neighbors are noisy early in the morning but that's only if you plan to sleep in past 7 am.
