My sister and I stayed at Joao's apartment May 15 - 18. The home was lovely and exactly as represented on the website. It is very well laid out - things like the laundry area were very functional since a drying rack is provided and you can leave the clothers open to sun and air without worrying they will blow away. We appreciated the heaters as well as it was unseasonably cold in Porto. Joao's furnishings and decor are lovely and the two coffe pots were a bonus since I drink tea and my sister drinks coffee. We enjoyed the fruit provided and since we are Americans we loved having the DVDs in English to watch in the evening. It is very convienient to the subway so we did not have to drive in Porto which was helpful and did not have to worry about the car as an underground parking space was provided. Joao even took the extra step of providing a subway card for the first ride into Porto which makes the opening trip on a strange subway quite a bit easier. Joao also went out of his way to find a cheese tour for us but we ran out of time to take it. We highly recommend a stay.
