Great apartment and great host. João was in contact with us the days before arrival and offered to collect us at the train station when we arrived. We got the grand-tour of the stunningly placed and beautiful apartment. This was my parents first visit to this magical city; I was so glad we choose this apartment. The views took their breath away - both day and night. They fell instantly for the city's unique charm. Though an absolute selling point, everything else about the apartment was perfect too: clean, well equipped and João is a wealth of information on the city itself and it's history. The steps are certainly challenging for older individuals, but every time they returned, my parents would vouch that the view in itself was more than adequate reward.
