Carlos and Isabel's flat is gorgeous. So very big ,spacious and modern. Although it is close to a railway line one really cannot hear anything. The Portuguese trains are very quiet running. It is an easy walk with suitcases from the station to the flat, only five minutes.
The location is fantastic for the beach, which is a surfing beach. Only for the brave, I think, and is a pleasant ten minute walk away down a straight road. We also walked along a mile of lovely sand and clean water.
The flat has everything that one could need regarding cooking, shower, bedroom area. It also has sliding balcony doors and pull along washing lines. Wonderful for drying those beach towels and suits. It has some nice touches with a beach theme.
The area is interesting with restaurants close by. The Portuguese people are so friendly and go out of their way to cross the language barrier, although we found that most spoke perfect English. A very enjoyable stay, one we will, hopefully, be returning to.
