We spent a whole month in the apartment of Joana in Matosinhos, three adults and a 2 years old kid. We had really a nice time, and this was possible because of the perfect location of the apartment: all in walking distance... 5 minutes to the closest beach, 5 minutes to bus station for all directions, 10 minutes to the metro station, 4 supermarkets around, the park (parque da cidade) behind the corner... Just amazing!
The house is silent enough, with a nice balcony to spend summer evenings, never very hot because there is always a nice breeze in the nights, elevator and all basic amenities. The apartment is very spacious and big, with 3 bedrooms and a huge living room, ideally for holidays of groups of friends or families. It is not a super modern fancy flat, which we didn't expect because of the very convenient price compared to the average of the neighbourhood.
Joana was very nice: we asked two pairs of keys and we got them. She even arrange a bike (a standard city bike) which we used a lot. It was easy to communicate with her and she was very flexible with both checking in and out. I highly recommend it if you like a holiday closed to the ocean!!!
