We had a lovely stay in Vila do Conde. Our host was very helpful and quickly addressed any issues or questions that came up. She checked in occasionally to make sure we were doing fine and so was very responsive. Check in was good. She met us and walked us through the apartment explaining appliances house rules and proving information about the area. One point about them in that was surprising was the contract we were asked to sign. There were 2 copies one in Portuguese and a “complimentary “ copy in English. We had never seen this contract before. We stayed in 6 other VRBO properties on this trip however no other host requires we sign a contract at check in. We were a bit nervous given we had not been given a copy to review in advance of check in. We had no idea if the Portuguese document said the same as the English version and yet the English version stated that in case of dispute between the 2 versions, the Portuguese version prevailed. We signed it because we felt our pre check in interactions with the host were all done with integrity. However, as Americans we are by nature suspicious of contracts. This contract was essentially a lease and probably binding. In the future I think it would be helpful to provide the lease at least 60 days before check In so the guest has time to review.

We had such a good time in Filomena’s holiday home. Such a great position and we everything you could need to a great holiday Thank you Trish

We stayed at Filomena's flat which is just off the cost (you can see the see from two windows). The apartment is located on the second floor and was clean and contained everything you need for a longer stay, including washing machine and dishwasher. Both bedrooms are very spacious with storage and the kitchen was fully supplied with pans, pots and everything needed to eat in regularly. The property is located in a very quiet street while being close to amenities, bakery and supermarket. Only thing to be mindful of (in case you are a very light sleeper or are travelling with one) is that in one of the bedrooms you can hear at times the noise of the lift in operation, but again this might not be a problem for most of people. All in all we enjoyed our stay and Filomena's warm hospitality

Lovely apartment everything you need for self catering holiday. Filomena is truly lovely and very welcoming. She kept in touch to make sure we were comfortable and had no problems. Filomena also able to recommend local restaurants and provided us with maps of area. Very clean and comfortable property. Thank you Filomena for your hospitality.
