Carlos and his wife are very warm and gracious hosts. This was the first time that we rented a car in Europe. Carlos was always watching for us and generously gave up his parking place for us the first night since we had no idea where to park. But we had figured out the parking situation by the second night. Carlos and his wife also left a small bottle of wine and some delicious pastries that are unique to Portugal as a welcoming gift. Very clean and comfortable place with plenty of towels. Carlos gave us directions to a fine seafood restaurant that is within two blocks of his place.
