I just loved this apartment. It was in the perfect spot. Supermarket and restaurants just around the corner and the view was such a treat!The most unique part of this property tho is Maria. What a sweetheart of a host! I felt like I was family staying in her place.I would come back here again without hesitation.

Great location and great host.

Wonderful apartment in a great location with views of the ocean. Apt had everything we needed. The host was lovely but limited English which made check in a bit tricky as my Portuguese is limited to hello/thank you. Once I was able to call/speak with the daughter (spoke very good English) everything worked out. As a bonus, the host provided daily apt. Service. (empty trash, made bed, new towels on day 2, etc.) That was a pleasant surprise.

Pros and Cons: This is a clean, cozy VRBO, good for a few days in an excellent location with sea views. We stayed for 10 nights which we personally found too long, lacking in space, and comfort if the weather does not allow you to be outdoors at times. The closet sliding door is not functional and difficult to move, the dresser drawers are difficult to open and close. Better seating and updating living room furniture would be a great asset to a lengthier stay. The (twin) beds together are comfortable. The shower works well and never a shortage of hot water. You will need to buy your own toiletries etc. Maria, the host is a lovely lady and wants to be present to help you out, however communication was difficult as she does not speak English, and we do not know the Portuguese language. This may help others in booking if it was noted in the VRBO listing that she does not speak English (for those Canadian or American Guests). Also it is noted there is outdoor grill which was not present during our stay .No fault of Maria’s, but we had a very bad experience when one of the neighbors started a fire to burn his garbage in his back yard and which permeated the inside of our home as well as our clothes and the smell persisted for a couple of days inside our unit. This unfortunately did dampen our holiday spirit and just a heads up for others to know.
