Vasco's place is fantastic, and he and Goncalo were very responsive - great hosts. The space is beautifully decorated, and the location is much better than we were aware of when we booked. The kitchen is very well equipped, and we had everything we needed for a week-long stay.
About a 5 minute walk to see the water and another couple to a beach. Close to the city centre, and tons of great restaurants. On that note, Somos um regalo, home of the best Peri Peri Chicken, is just down the block, and 5entidos (5 Senses), which is fantastic, is about a 3 minute walk. Will definitely book this same apartment on our next visit.
