Carlos was very responsive and accommodating before our trip, and Vitor who met us at the house was also very helpful when we had some questions.
Before our trip we were a bit concerned about the noise around the house, since there are a couple of cafes/restaurants right outside the house.
But the cafes were not open late at night, so apart from some minor construction work in the neighborhood it was quite ok with the noise level.
By the way we can recommend a visit or two to the "Taberna do Barqueiro" right outside the house.
The food is great and prices much lower than at the city center/seafront.
We were very happy with the location of the house, and it was very easy to get around from here.
We mainly walked around, but there’s also a tram/bus (to the beach) which has a stop close to.
