There were things we loved but also had some issues.
First the good part:
The location is great. You are 5 minutes away from the beach, train station, supermarket and an amazing pastry shop. The train to Lisbon runs every 12 minutes and takes 30 minutes past the coast so some nice views.
The house is very well equipped and we arrived to a lovely welcome of cheese, wine, bread, fruit and much more. The kitchen is really well stocked and having a washing machine there is very handy. Although there is a sofa bed in the living room, we’d recommend this place for a max of 4 adults or else it may be a little cramped. Having 2 bathrooms was very helpful and dishwashing tablets and washing machine tablets were provide so you don’t have to worry about any of that.
The little courtyard is beautiful. It has a little herb garden and you can start the day having breakfast outside with amazing pastries from a place just 5 minutes away.
The taxi option from the airport is great but at €50 it is almost twice as much as Uber so bear that in mind.
And now the things that were not so great.
The house is very noisy. It is attached to another and when people open doors or walk through it, it sounds like they are in your house. This caused a right scare on the first night when we thought the house got broken into.
The shutters don’t close properly leaving the room very light. The curtains in our room where so thin they made no difference and only covered the front windows.
Although this place is advertised without aircon, it would be great if they installed one as we got very hot at night and with the surrounding streets very noisy leaving the windows open wasn’t a great option.
As you can see, there was a lot that we liked about the house and some things we didn’t. The noise one was the biggest issue for us and not something that management can resolve I think.
