I was staying with Monica and her family 1 month and I really like it. I recomend this place to everybody who comes for work/study. The room is well equiped, amenities are all available, the place is peacful. Monica and her family are very hospital, but are not in your face, so you have your peace when you need it. If you need anything they are all willing to help. The public transport conections are good, so you need 20 to 30 min to get to city center. The region is also really nice for hiking and there is a big sport center near by. It takes 20 min to walk to the beach, and 1 hour walk to get to Belem tower.
So I recomend this housing a lot!
