What is presented as a couple's flat is actually one of several rental apartments managed by the host's father. While I was hoping for a place that felt like a local's, the flat meets basic needs and is conveniently located a few short blocks from a beautiful and easily accessible beach. Basic amenities are provided, and the bed and linens were quite comfortable. I would recommend the apt for warmed months, but had plenty of layers and heat to stay warm. The owners have done a nice job making the space feel like a casual beach flat. Nice lighting, appreciate that it had a live plant, and the stove worked well. Plenty of items for basic cooking and well-equipped kitchen considering that no one lives there when it's not rented. Shower could use some deeper cleaning (mold) and amenities could be a tad higher in quality and on-brand (or at the least, Portuguese soap with so many great Portuguese soap producers!). A good option if you're seeking calm, quiet, and proximity to the beach. Loved waking to the sound of seagulls.
