My husband and I, along with our three adult children, stayed in Rene's lovely apartment for four nights. Everyone was very comfortable and enjoyed having a kitchen for breakfasts and snacks, a comfortable living room for reading and relaxing, and plenty of space for "alone time," which was particularly important after being together 24/7 as we adventured through Portugal. The location was very good, allowing us to walk to almost everything we wanted to see and do, close to good coffee shops, and just around the corner from a wonderful Thai message salon. The apartment and Rene met or exceeded every expectation .
