We spent a full month at Madalena's place and we absolutely loved it.
The apartment is very spacious, well equipped, near many convenient places including the beach. There is a supermarket literally downstairs from the house which was very useful. Public transportation is downstairs from the house and ubers are quite inexpensive from there.
Madalena and her husband are the sweetest couple and even invited us to go visit them in their "Quinta".
We highly recommend staying with them. Hopefully we'll be back one day!
