I had a great stay at Porto Island. The host was really attentive, proactive and thought about my airport travel before i even thought about organizing it, without being pushy. The house is small but has every detail you need (coffee machine, toast machine,..). The garden is also a nice plus and really cosy. Because the houses are located inside a courtyard with an extra door it feels really safe. The location is nicely between the beach and the centre. It still takes 40 min walking to the beach and 30 with bus and 30 min in total with bus to the centre. But the buses almost never come on time. There's a metrostop 10 min further walking which takes you to the centre in around 10 min (also around 30 min total).
