Frustrating check-in process and no instructions for check-out. Main gate was broken so if no other guests were available to let us in, we had to jump the 6 ft. Gate. Walk to Porto was steep but we enjoyed it. Grocery and restaurants are walking distance, but at least .3 miles away. Very clean and the balcony was nice. ##### Angie K.
