Overall we had a very pleasant stay. The apartment is spacious and exactly as described in the listing photos. The bathroom was roomy with decent water pressure, and the kitchen is small but well equipped, with a working dishwasher, oven, and microwave. The location is excellent, on a quiet residential street with free street parking nearby, and it’s an easy walk to Praia do Vale de Centeanes, which is right by one end of the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail. We also appreciated having a dehumidifier, which helped keep the humidity down.
One thing to note is that the apartment is managed by a company and requires a separate check-in step before arrival, but it was straightforward and getting the key was smooth. If we were to nitpick, our only minor issues were that there wasn’t a frying pan, and one of the wall lights near the door wasn’t working, which made the main space a bit darker than we’d prefer. These issues can be easily rectified for future guests.Overall we’d happily stay again.
