Staying in Rita's place in Colares was very nice. The apartment was just what we needed as a base to return to after daily trips to the beach and to the mountains. Rita was very communicative and made sure that things were going well with personal messages throughout the week we were there. The private parking spot was very nice to have and gave us peace of mind, but if you are not used to driving in tight spaces it could be a bit difficult to use. It is a compact car parking spot.
