Myself and my partner stayed with Jessica, Jhoy, Luis and his partner (we never got your name! Sorry. You will have to let us know!) For 2 nights. It was honestly a joy to stay with them. They speak little English but we speak less Portuguese so that was no problem. They made so much effort to communicate and use Google translate app and got us using it too. We ending up chatting a lot and communication was no issue. We had the en suite room with balcony which was beautiful, extremely clean and had a fridge. We also had use of the very well stocked kitchen with everything you need and more.
The helped us with places to visit, how to get to parts of the city and they even provided a travel card to use. Despite all their help, we also felt very much like we had our privacy too. There is another room in the apartment which they rent but the kitchen is big enough and well stocked enough to be able to share it easily.
The ensuite bathroom was extremely clean with a big shower and lovely touches in the bathroom. Towels, soap, shower gel...
The apartment is only really 30 minutes walk from the centre and 15/20 minute walk to Lidl. There is also a mini market at the bottom of the apartment building.
We could say more but this review would be extremely long.
We loved it.
