We were met at the apartment and shown the property and provided with information we would require for our stay. The apartment is in a fantastic location right across from the beach. It is large and airy, plenty of room for two couples, each having out their bathroom. Having the air conditioning was brilliant, though we did not always need this as the sun did not come around until the evening, therefore keeping the living area and kitchen at a pleasant temperature all day, especially if we had the balcony doors open when we were there. The kitchen had all the facilities you would require, plenty of pots/pans etc. There was a cleaning cupboard with items we could use too. The main balcony was a great spot to watch the sunsets , and it was fabulous having a balcony attached to the bedroom. We could see the sea from our room when we woke in the morning. The area is quiet in the evenings but full of locals going about their daily lives during the day. A lovely place to be. Uber into Porto or Vila Nova De Gaia was easy and cheap. I would definitely recommend this apartment. I would however suggest that if visitors are staying for a number of days, that providing them all with more than one towel each would be much better as we did occasionally not have a dry towel when we wanted to shower as it hadn’t dried or been out of the machine long enough. We did look to see if there were extras but could not find any,however I am sure that had we messaged Marco he would have arranged this
