The location and garden of the house are the key elements. Walking distance to the train station (2 minutes) and the beach + bars + restaurants (10 minutes). As it was november and cold at night, the electric heating was needed to warm the kitchen space. This worked efficient. Sunny in the daytime so breakfast in the garden. There is an 11km bicycle/ running track all the way from Arcozelo to Porto/Douro river with nice views on the ocean. For € 1,45 in 20 mns in downtown Porto so you don't need a car. Have a nice stay.
