We just got back from 10 days in Portugal, which included stays in Porto, Lisbon and Sao Miguel. Sao Miguel was our favorite, and part of what made it our favorite, was not only the beautiful island, but Carlos’s place. It was in a great location, making it easy to travel to all other parts of the island. Carlos helped me to rent a car, and we never had a problem finding parking at the apartment, there was plenty right out front. We arrived on the island prior to check-in so the self-check in/out made it very easy and convenient so we didn’t have to rush back from sightseeing to meet and get keys like we had to at other rentals. Carlos was easy to communicate with and provided a lot of useful information about the apartment, area and island. The building was secure and serviced by two elevators, which made it easy for my mom with a bad hip. The apartment was quiet, very clean and very spacious with all the amenities needed. It also had and an Ocean View! If I’m ever back in Sao Miguel I would definitely stay here again!
