Overall, a lovely place to stay. Do your research on restaurants in the area and travel routes as it's a bit off the beaten path (but still only 20 min train to most places!) and the beach is very close, and there's a nice grocery store a block away. Great location if you're looking for a mellow non-touristy option but a bit trickier if you don't speak any Portuguese at all since it's more of a residential area.
