Casa Joaquim is easily accessible by bus, train and by car. The entrance has a traditional ‘porta da reixa’ gridded door leading from the street. This is a mostly residential area though there are some cafés and late-licenced bars on the street to the back of the house. Ashtrays are provided for smoking outside the property. Due to the possibility of guests being allergic to animal hair, we would rather not allow pets. Arrivals are flexible, though we aim to keep bookings as close as possible. Departure is by 10am and arrival is from 2pm unless otherwise arranged. We provide a once weekly linen and bathroom towel change including a clean of the bathrooms. There will be some toilet paper and soap for arrivals and a hamper of beverages, with additional breakfast and snacks are provided for late arrivals. Guests will be met at the property.
