João welcomed us to his apartment with a bottle of port which was a great start to our visit. His apartment is just awesome. It is on a pedestrian street around the corner from the Sé and with to-die-for views of the river, port houses, and bridge. The apartment is very roomy and the fireplace was nice on cool evenings. He had just repainted the apartment and it was pretty clean. The kitchen and bathroom could use some updating, but both were good sized and worked well. The beds were comfy with plenty of clean bedding. João was quick to respond for any questions, helped us check in early, and helped identify things to do and places to see. We can recommend him and his apartment fully!
