Localização muito boa a 5 mins da praia dos Olhos de Água e do centro onde há muitos restaurantes e muita música à noite. Excelente vista panorâmica do apartamento. Ideal para quem queira descansar e procure um ambiente descontraído como se estivesse na própria casa. Os anfitriões são muito simpáticos e prestáveis. A piscina tem um bom terraço com muito sol. A estadia foi extremamente agradável, gostaria que tivéssemos ficado mais tempo e vamos repetir!
