My boyfriend, Ben, and I loved staying at João's place. It's centrally located and an easy walk from the Sao Bento train station. It's only 3 minutes from the Ribeira, in the main historical part of town.
João was incredibly attentive and responsive with his communication. He made the check-in and check-out process easy. He even sat down with us to make sure we knew how to get to the parts of town we were interested in and suggested a great trip along the water to the beaches via bicycle.
We had a lovely and memorable weekend trip and everything João recommended was a gem.
The beds are comfortable, the pillows like a dream. There was even an electric water kettle for tea and a well-stocked kitchen.
Highly recommend staying here! It was a treat.
