This studio apartment has been newly renovated and is very modern. It is exactly as depicted in photos. Everything you need is provided, for example, full kitchen accessories and iron, etc. there is no washing machine but is a laundry a couple of doors down. It is close by Granja station and you can take the train to either Porto or Aveiro (dubbed the Venice of Portugal) - both journeys are about 40 minutes. There is a public swimming pool close by and also in Espinho. There are a number of life-guarded beaches not far away (best to swim at these as the ocean can be pretty wild). Communication with Pedro was good and he resolved as issue we had quickly. The apartment is about 50 minutes walk from Espinho (cross over the railway lines and head towards the beach to find boardwalk - there is a taxi rank near the station in Espinho also). In the other direction the boardwalk is endless and there are some small towns along the way. We found restaurants to be hit and miss so would advise to do some research and you may need to book in advance for nicer places. There are a number of small shops on the street and we found them to be very friendly and helpful.
