An Exceptional value. Extremely roomy, clean, and comfortable (bring some friends). There is a washing machine that works well and place to hang up your clothes to dry that worked great. There is a full kitchen with cooking pots, pans, etc. The owners were very pleasant and helpful. They provided a very good selection of juices, coffee, milk, break, and cereal. They provided a TV so I was able to watch the football match between Real Madrid and Liverpool (Excellent game) There is a really nice grocery and nice bar just across the street. It's fairly close, within walking distance (through back streets), to the train/bus station which was a plus when arriving and leaving (though it is uphill to the apartment). It's not far from the Samil beach and the Marine Museum (TAKE A TAXI), and the Casino (take a taxi). I walked to the Ermita de Nosa Senora da Guia and back (definitely visit) for a scenic view of the harbor and city (definitely worth the walk).

It was a longer walk (usually uphill) to most destinations. It was a little further than I would have liked to walk to the nicer restaurants and casino. The air conditioner did not work, but it was cool enough in the evenings to open the windows and cool off. It was only too warm one night.

Breakfast included deal had already opened box of frosted flakes, need to attend to a short in the bathroom light switch as sparks were visible during night when switching it on.
