Alberto's apartment is lovely and the location facing onto the beach is great. We enjoyed meeting his lovely wife and daughter Barbara, who were all very helpful. The apartment is very well equipped. The main living area has two big couches which convert into 2 double beds where 4 teens slept comfortably. The adjacent bedroom has another double bed. The entrance corridor doubles as the second bedroom which has a sleeper couch that extends to the width of the corridor. Our favourite part is the terrace from which you can watch the sunset over the Atlantic. Madalena is a well maintained area with a beautiful beach, boardwalk and cycle path. Public transport is sporadic and does not really follow the advertised timetable. The nearest supermarket is a 20 min walk away and Alberto very kindly volunteered to collect us from there after our big initial shop. We rented bikes at Gaia Bike (4km north) and from the bike shop at the marina in Porto. The 30 minute cycle to the stunning Porto bridge is safe and flat.
