Henrique and his wife were fantastic. They made my girlfriend, Erica, and I feel welcome right away; from the beginning, Henrique was easy to communicate with and, once we arrived to their apartment, they gave us the quick run through of the facilities, airport location, transportation, etc.

Henrique was so thoughtful to even offer to call the car agency for us -- as we don't speak Portuguese, and he did two round trips with me to the airport to ensure that I had my car rental and flights figured out. I mean, he truly went above and beyond out of his own the kindness.

On the night we stayed at their apartment, my gf and I hadn't had dinner and found a restaurant called Peixe Azul for dinner after a quick Google search. The place is no more than a 5 or 10 min walk from the apartment, and after chatting with Henrique about it, he mentioned that the restaurant was great and that we'd enjoy it. The restaurant turned out to be a family-run restaurant with great food, great prices, and no tourists -- very authentic. As we found out, Henrique had called the restaurant to make sure that someone took special care of us as we weren't from the area.

In short, I'd totally recommend Henrique's place to anyone. The place is exactly as described and a very short distance from the airport.
