I stayed at this apartment for three month during a personal and necessary sabbatical. It couldn't have been a better location for where I needed to be and what I needed to focus on. Beautiful views every morning and every night ~ I couldn't stop taking pictures of the gorgeous sunsets! The beach is just a 5+ minute walk through the city center - don't miss a Sunday stroll down the boardwalk!
As a single woman, solo traveler, I never once felt uncomfortable or unsafe in this area or the city of Espinho overall. It was a great spot for walking and exploring, yet not feeling overwhelmed. Lots of restaurants, markets, cafes, etc. close by. Train station is about a 10 minute walk away - very convenient way to travel from city to city. Super easy-going, beautiful little city along the ocean.
Ricardo was an amazing and attentive host! Always available and prompt with solutions to any sort of requests I had. I absolutely recommend this property or any of his properties based on my experience here.
