I stayed here for a month. It was perfect for me, a home from home. Close enough to the tourist areas and beach when I wanted to go (about 20 min walk), but far away to get out of the hustle and into a typical Portuguese neighbourhood, with local tavernas, cafes and so on dotted about. The house itself has all the basics you need, even for an extended stay. The garden offered a nice oasis too, trapping sun in the morning and again in afternoon! There is an excellent supermarket around the corner, and a Lidl perhaps 10 min walk away from the home. Last but not least, I loved Maria and her Mum. Wonderful, warm and friendly hosts!
