Maria's flat is much, much nicer than it looks in the pictures - at first we were worried about space and the ease of navigating the loft area, but after arriving, everything was absolutely wonderful. If I could have an apartment like hers, I wouldn't hesitate to move to Portugal instantly. Fast internet, wonderful location, good kitchen, comfortable bed.

There were two small and nice heaters included, which was a lovely touch, and local tea and a friendly and personable host made everything a dream. The location was flawless, right in the heart of the local area, and it was just generally a dream staying there. Would love to stay here for a few months to really get a feel for living in Portugal.

Maria was lovely as well, escorting me out in the morning we left to find an open apothecary and spent over an hour relaxing with a cup of tea, hanging out, and discussing Portugal with me and my girlfriend. What a joy to stay here!
