Joao is a wonderful host. Warm, knowledge and extremely gracious and accommodating. The apartment is spacious and the view is superb. Could not be quieter or cleaner. Everything needed is available including a coffee maker and a washing machine.
The only cautionary is that there are fair number of stone steps down and then, of course, up. It can be an issue wrestling a suitcase or in the rain when the steps are wet. There is a handrail and the lighting is good, but just be aware that one will navigate steps as part of the stay.
