Maria was helpful from about a month out! She contacted us early to ensure that everything was set in our flight and that we had transport from the airport. After finding out that we didn’t, went out of her way to organize a 15 euro car ride from the airport all the way downtown which is a fraction of what a taxi would have costed. After we arrived she greeted us personally with a overview of the area and all amenities in the apartment. Throughout the stay she constantly made herself available helping us coordinate a trip to the south of Portugal. I would highly recommend staying at Maria’s it’s almost as if you are meeting a distant relative that you haven’t seen in a long time. Thank you Maria
