The property is directly on Praia dos Moinhos, a wonderful beach on Sao Miguel's north shore. It is quiet, absolutely beautiful at night, and possibly the best location of any place we have ever stayed at.
The unit itself is plain, devoid of decoration or fancy things, but this was never an issue, since the location is so nice. The main room, as one enters, is a living room, dining area, and (the best part of the unit) the patio overlooking the beach. Downstairs are the two bedrooms and bath area.
Kitchen has necessary appliances. Living room is quite nice-large and comfortable, and the patio has a table and several chairs.
The master bedroom is large, bed is comfortable. We did not use the second and smaller bedroom, so cannot comment. Bath is fine and has a small shower area with great water pressure.
Praia dos Moinhos is a wonderful beach. Nice sand, lovely cliffs on either side. There is a very good restaurant two or three doors up the street.
Although street parking was available directly in front of the unit, we chose to parking in the free lot about a block away in order to keep the car out of harm's way.
Hiking trails are available within a very short walking distance which allow for short hikes to the waterfall, or longer hikes which take you up to the bluffs overlooking the beach area and they are just idyllic.
Communication was a bit difficult, but certainly worth the effort to go to sleep with the waves crashing and to wake up to breakfast on the patio.
