Simply outstanding in every way.
As wonderful as Teresa’s home is, what makes renting from Teresa truly stand out is Teresa herself. From the seamless check-in (with notes on must-do’s, can skip, and “eat here,”) to helping us plan a grand celebration for our daughter’s birthday, Teresa exceeded all expectations. It felt more like we were staying at an aunt’s house than at a stranger’s home.
For the home, each bedroom has its own bathroom with shower (although they might be small for larger guests), there is a pleasant outdoor sitting area, and the common area of the home was good for our three-generations family to gather in the mornings. The house is located about 10-20 minutes walk from most places of interest.
We would also recommend Kardoso - a local restaurant about 2 blocks away - for dinner. It’s small, but the food was excellent - fresh, high-quality, local, and delicious. They don’t speak English, but the waiter was happy to describe the food as best as possible in Portuguese. We went back twice and exceeded our expectations both times.
Wonderful!!
