The place is beautifully designed and the garden is a great plus. João is an amazing host, very knowledgeable about the area and provided many great tips for getting around. He also gave us a bottle of Port wine to taste which is a very nice touch.
The place is great overall but here are a few heads ups for future travelers
1. Don’t leave food out/be sure to clean up all crumbs. We unfortunately had an ant issue when we left food out before throwing it in the garbage outside.
2. The upstairs bed is more on the firm side and can be a little uncomfortable if you prefer softer beds. The downstairs bedroom bed and the pull out sofa are great alternatives.
3. The walls are thin so you can hear neighbors walking up and down the stairs. This may wake you if you’re a light sleeper.
Overall, I recommend João’s place and João as an Airbnb host, he is lovely to work with!
