Joao's place has a vintage vibe, creating a sense of nostalgic feeling, which was a special experience to us. We quite like his house, especially as sun can shine through the whole apartment. His apartment is spacious too but could be more comfortable if it has been more properly maintained. Now some part of the wooden floor has been damaged, giving rise to an uneven floor. The kitchen is not clean enough either. The cupboard has a bad smell coming from the rotten wood. Also one of the two showers has problems with leaking which would flood the bathroom floor, so we were told not to use it. Unfortunately the other shower was shockingly slow. If all these problems could be fixed, our stay would have been perfect.
Joao and his flatmate Babara are nice and friendly, giving us great suggestions touring around the place. Check-in was no problem and flexible. Communication was quick too.
