We had a great time at José Maria's place! First of all, he was kind enough to give us a tour of the neighborhood when we were there, showing us all the good restaurants, etc. The house was really nice, and my son loved using the pool. The neighborhood is in a great area, quiet at night, but not too far away from everything you want to see. Finally, José Maria was kind enough to give us a couple of rides to the train station when we needed it. He and his family were great hosts and I highly recommend staying with them in there great house.
