+++Spotless!+++ Everything was spotless.

The apartment was perfect and looked just as in the picures. Lovely, had everything you needed and was spotless clean. We loved that it was so very bright compared to other offered Portuguese apartments and the terrace was nice and huge. In one end you would have good cover from the some times very windy weather and when it is summer hot with not so much wind the other end of the terrce is more airy.

A car is nice to have especially if you wan't to drive around and see some of the beatiful Northern Portugal but it is possible to manage without. The train station is 2.4km from the apartment with easy acces from there to Porto, Airport ect.

There are also some nice walks from Mindelo. Portugal has build miles of wooden boardwalks and combined with normal small streets it enables you to walk by the sea eg. from Mindelo south to Porto(25km) or North to Vila do Conde(6km - Restaurants/shops/Friday Market)
In Mindelo you will find small groceries enough for you basic needs and some cafes near the wonderful beach. Also I would like to point out the Ruben Dunas Restaurant (500meter). Not for its interior but for its fish its very good inexpensive chicken late in the evenings, the location, when you sit outside (insist on that an bring your own blankets(you can buy fleece in IKEA 10km away)) and the very kind staff(July 2016)

Finally we would like to thank Jorge so much for a great stay. The communication was smooth and easy with quick response. He was very accomodating and so very helpful.

From the 4 of us...Thank you!!
