João's apartment was beautiful and looked just as it does in the pictures. It is brand new, and very nice. The apartment is in walking distance of the the city center. We really enjoyed our stay and felt welcomed by our host. One thing to note, the loft part of the apartment isn't the most kid friendly since some of the banisters on the stairs are a little far apart. We bought our toddler with and had to keep a very close eye on him. Other than that everything was perfect!
