This place is a gem—a half kilometer from the train station, right next to two grocery stores, an amazing Chinese restaurant and a portugese bakery with amazing “natal” tarts. The studio is attractive and comfortable—-much nicer than the photos. Nice light from the window, comfortable bed and small efficient kitchen with a table for four. Joao met me to let me in and show me the studio. He was awesome. This place is a class act at a reasonable price. Don’t pass it up (unless you’re reserving when I want it).
