My boyfriend and I had a great time staying at Luis' flat. The place is well stocked with everything you would need including lots of kitchen equipment, basic cooking and washing essentials. Luis was a good host and he communicated with us well and promptly before and during our stay. The place also felt safe.
There is a supermarket, small beach and some restaurants within walking distance. Some of the more popular beaches and towns are a short taxi ride away.
Point to note is that the shower did not drain very well so, it flooded onto the bathroom floor if left on for more than a few minutes. The washing machine also did not work as the cycles stopped after 10 minutes, so we ended up hand washing some of our clothes.
Overall it was a lovely place to stay. It is better value than a hotel and I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Portugal.
