Maria's place is wonderful and my friend and I loved staying there! The apartment was immaculately clean, bright and cheery, and filled with newer furnishings and appliances. The house is tucked away on a quiet residential street just two blocks away from the beach and walking distance to scores of restaurants and a few bars. It also has views of the ocean. Maria's apartment is truly a great bargain!
Maria and her husband were warm and hospitable and made check in and check out a breeze. They were extremely welcoming and made us feel right at home by leaving a bottle of Portuguese wine and metro cards. I strongly recommend staying here, and hope to visit again the next time I'm in Portugal.
