We didn’t meet Joao, but all messages answered quickly, arranged for our transfer to and from airport.
The location was excellent, a supermarket and metro station minutes away. Around 20 minutes to reach the centre, plenty of bars and cafes on the way to break up the journey. Peaceful at night, minimal traffic.
Sadly we had heavy rain nearly everyday but manage to see all the sights. Sunday we found an excellent tapas restaurant called Rio’s essential to book as only small, staff were excellent and food was delicious. We had a very comfortable stay overall.
