Joao's apartment was enormous! There were only two of us, but it could easily have accommodated six. It was beautifully furnished, immaculately clean and extremely well-equipped. Joao had thought of everything one could possibly need. He kindly provided us with water, milk, fruit, rolls and butter to get us started, which we greatly appreciated. He went to great pains to explain how all the appliances worked and how to get into Porto. The washing machine was a boon as were the drying lines on the covered terrace. We would definitely ask to stay in Joao's apartment again, if we were ever to return to Porto!
