Joao’s place is in the center of town. Our flight was delayed and he came and checked us in at 2am with a smile on his face. The apartment has all the bare basics, just bring your own shampoo. Otherwise, I was pleasantly surprised by the area. Right around the corner from Michelan star restaurant DOP and a few blocks away from the river. We never needed to take the metro. Would love to stay here again if I ever come back!
