We spent over 10 days in Patricia and Monica´s apartment and we had a really great time there. The communication was perfect and Patricia even provided us with an additional copy of keys, which we really appreciated. The apartment itself is a 5 min. walk from a train station in a quiet residential area with a couple of groceries and smaller shops nearby. Also in the apartment there´s practically everything you need for the stay with possibly the only exception of air-conditioning (but thanks to the windy weather in Portugal there´s no need for that). The nearby beach is quite huge and nice, but we had little difficulties with toilets - there are practically none on the beach itself (if I don´t count private ones belonging to the bars), so it was always those in bars or possibly more distant public ones.
