We chose to stay with Helder mainly because of the amazing reviews...and let me tell you, he lives up to the hype. I am a huge fan of Airbnb and I have never had a bad experience but never before has a host picked me up from the airport, shown me around the locale and given me a gift of a bottle of wine. I had never visited Portugal before and I must say that the people are super, Helder is an exemplar of this. The apartment is exactly as it looks in the photos, it is very well kept and perfectly comfortable for a long weekend break or more. The local town is quiet but it has a great burger restaurant and gin bar within 200m as well as small grocery stores and pharmacies for the essentials. Overall a superb stay with a host that was second to none.
