We really enjoyed our stay at Diogo's house.
It's not far from the city center, but in a quiet neighborhood. You need a car to get to the surfing spots and supermarkets, but it's only a short drive.
House is very big, we were 7 and had enough space. There is everything you need for a comfort life: many towels, comfortable beds, lots of kitchen ware, grill, plenty of hot water, anti mosquito devices. Not saying about
swimming pool, billiards and chess:)
