The apartment is great and in a good location for walking everywhere. The bed is very firm. Extra blankets were appreciated (there is a heater for the living room and a heating system in the bedroom, but we didn't need either). The shower was hot and steady. João was our contact, and we couldn't have asked for better. In addition to great communication before and during our stay (with lots of information about the area and what to do), João went above and beyond. He helped us to arrange a specialist appointment at a private hospital before we arrived, and even went right to the hospital to secure a time. We truly appreciated this extra assistance. Thank you, João!
