Nuno is charming, friendly and helpful, and the flat is well equipped and tastefully decorated. I particularly liked the terrace, with two sets of glass doors admitting plenty of light and air, with plants and surrounded by orange and lemon trees, very quiet and peaceful. The neighbourhood is very attractive, high with sea views, and I was glad that It's not in the middle of the bustling tourist areas. These are quickly and easily accessible by bus or tram. There is also a taxi rank a few feet away. Nuno provides a useful info sheet with maps and listings, local and further away. He has undertaken to expand upon the bus and tram details. Behind the local supermarket I found a coffee shop selling the best custard tarts, and opposite this an excellent Chinese-run "everything" shop where I bought things for which I had searched in vain in London and New York. I could have stayed more than five days and explored more, and in fact we missed our flight back to London!
