Although we didn't get to meet Joao, he made sure we had clear instructions on how to reach the apartment. Someone was there waiting for us, and although we didn't speak the same languages, she was able to show us around the place. The apartment was exceptionally clean and comfortable, well-situated and it had everything we needed (even a recipe book!). We enjoyed our stay very much, and we would recommend this place to anyone. Thank you Joao!
