What a wonderful house, and what amazing hosts! Rui made the check-in process easy and informative, and completely worked around our schedules. We were a group of 9, and the house fit us perfectly. The home is an older house that has been lovingly renovated with comfort and relaxation in mind. The location was great; the house is near the train station, and on the same block as a general market, an organic food store (with great expresso!), a cafe, and a laundromat. It is also near a variety of restaurants. And of course, the beach! There are two beaches nearby. One is more of a traditional sandy beach, the other is full of large rocks that make wonderful tidal pools to explore when the tide recedes. Catching the sunset there, over the water, was one of our favorite things to do. Rui was happy to answer any questions we asked, and sent us a bunch of helpful suggestions about what to do in the area and where to eat. Really, the whole experience was wonderful!
