We rented the flat for about a week during which time our son went to a surf camp across the road. I spent the days mostly in and around the house working on my computer and my husband drove back and forth to work. The place is exactly like in the photos, only better! It is a super safe neighborhood and everything you need is nearby. There is a little store right at the back of the house to fetch things last minute and a great local market in walking distance. Many fantastic restaurants too in the area, but we also used our own kitchen quite a bit. It was to our delight that everything in the house worked perfectly. The best thing about the house is the light inside, and to be able to see the sea from where you sit. I was able to concentrate and work very well during my time there, and our son loved being able to walk back and forth to the beach every day. We all appreciated the simple, yet efficient design of the house and above all, the friendliness of Tiago and Sonia. Five stars to our wonderful hosts.
