Paula's kindness is typical of the proverbial Portuguese family friendliness! She even got a new chair for our toddler when we just asked. This country loves kids and it made our vacation so pleasant. This is a nice home in a quiet street with loads of cute cats - a village feel within the city, with a fruit street vendor and a large supermarket right next door, close to the center and the beaches. The neighbors are so charming - we loved this place.
