the city: espinho is a small fishing/beach town. Perfect to relax and close to Porto on a very convenient train. I gambled at the casino, got surfing lessons, and ate great seafood during my time here. Big fan
the flat: a little on the outskirts, in the fisherman part of town, but everything is close to everything in Espinho. If you want to be right on top of all the bustle and the main streets, look elsewhere, but if you are happy with a little 5-10 minute walk to get to where you need to go (like me), this place is great.
the host: Pedro is super nice and helpful. A bit eccentric, but he'll give you the shirt off his back if you asked, which is rare to find in people.
Thanks much, and would love to visit again some time!
