There are 3 main things I look for in a place to stay: cleanliness, a comfortable bed, and great shower pressure! This house was amazing on all three counts! The entire house not only appeared to be immaculate, but it smelled amazingly fresh! The beds were great, and I wished I could take the shower home with me! I loved the simple handmade charm of the place, and you could stand out on the deck and watch the ocean waves! The locals we came in contact with were extremely friendly and willing to help in any way they could. Also, there was a market, along with a bakery, and several restaurants within easy walking distance of the house. Rui, the host, greeted us with a smile and made sure we successfully connected to the internet. He was friendly and checked on us occasionally to make sure everything was alright with the place. He even went the extra mile to help us out of a bind when we couldn't find an Uber to get us to the airport in the wee hours of the morning! If you're looking for a place in the area, stop looking!!! This is it!!
