The apartment is absolutely lovely! It is in a fantastic location, close to the River but away from the crowds. There are lots of fantastic restaurants and bars nearby. It's only a short walk to the nearest tram stop and train station. It's furnished to a very high standard and was very clean. It was very quiet, as it's in the fourth floor - there's a lift if you have heavy luggage.
João is an excellent host and great ambassador for his city. He was very easy to communicate with and responded to all messages promptly. He gave us an excellent overview of the city and his recommendations (restaurants, bike/scooter hire, luggage storage etc) were all perfect. He was very welcoming and really went out if his way to assist us in any way he could.
