This is a beautiful apartment that is literally a 2 minute walk from the beach. It is super clean, fully stocked, has free parking out front and not in a super touristy area.
It is approximately 20 minutes away from the airport, which is why we stayed as we were leaving Portugal the next morning, and approximately 40 minutes away from Porto. There are a lot of nice places to eat near by and the value of this place was great.
Sadly we didn't get to meet the host in person, who was super quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had, and was super flexible with our checkin. He was super kind. However in lieu of meeting the host, we got to meet his parents (don't tell the host but I think we lucked out with the parents hah). Sure they didn't speak any English but they were the sweetest people ever and made our arrival great.
If we are ever back in the area, we would definitely return.
Thanks again!
