Fernando was very warm and welcoming and I was amazed to receive my own mini portuguese dictionary from him by e-mail, seeing as I didn't know a work of Portuguese it turned out to be quite handy.
The apartment was clean and cozy and exactly as described, it's a bonus that it's right next to an adventure park which was great for a morning exercise and during sunset you can open the windows and have a nice view overlooking the park.
Everything that is needed is easy to access e.g. the supermarket and train station and there's a cute little mini bar right next to the apartment if you feel like socializing with the locals.
I will definitely return to this apartment if I am in the area again.
