The apartment was homely and neat, exactly like the pictures, comfortable bed, good water strength from the shower, excellent for one or two nights stay. Good location, not far from the train and bus station, with plenty of food options and also close to the marina. Unfortunately, we did not get to meet Maria as she was away but she communicated with us through airbnb efficiently as she was unable to be at the apartment when we arrived and left. She provided clear instructions for collecting the keys and checking out, as well as tips on where to visit and eat. She recommended the Baia Do Peixe restaurant just one street away from the apartment, which was superb (might require reservations). However, the curtains are thin and slightly see-through, which might be a problem for light sleepers. It also seemed like it was on a quiet street but some noises were heard throughout the night. Overall, a decent apartment for a good price. Obrigado Maria!
