The host seems to own the entire building and has a management team on-premise and on-call to take care of you during the stay. The unit is large on the top floor with many windows and thus provided a lot of natural light and noise isolation. The team at check-in kindly helped us with our bags and gave us recommendations on where to go get supplies for our stay. We enjoyed the modern amenities, made use of the fully equipped kitchen, and fast speed internet. In a rare turn of events, halfway through our stay, a strong rain storm caused flooding of the apartment. The management team responded to a 2am phone call and within 30 minutes had moved us to another apartment at the lower level. This apartment was not as nice as the original unit (noisier with a musty smell), and the host was amenable in working things out with us. Overall we enjoyed this unit and the location for a longer stay. It is a quieter area of town but with great food and options as well.
If you stay in the area, make sure to try out fresh olive bread at Masseira, and eat at Xau Laura.
