Everything was good at the house. Cris and Joao are great people, they're friendly and helpful. They would offer me food and assistance whenever I needed. There was a maid who kept the home clean, other roommates to communicate with, and the surrounding nature and view was beautiful. The nearest beach was amazing. Overall everything was enjoyable. The train station to get into the city is also nearby and safe.
The only challenge is that it is a pretty far walk uphill to get to the house and on occasion Uber drivers would not take me up the hill. Be prepared to carry your groceries up a steep hill for 20 minutes or call an Uber every time you go to the grocery store. Most of the time I walked up the hill but eventually it became tiresome.
Pleasant experience overall though keep in mind the home is pretty remote and its a bit of a mission to get to and from the house.
