We loved our stay at Mar Grande. In fact, weâre staying in a flat in Terceira right now that makes me miss it. The flat was so perfect for us: the views were incredible, the flat was located in a great area with plenty of parking, there was plenty of natural light, and the kitchen was well stocked with kitchen equipment so I could cook real meals. And the shower? Amazing after an international flight from the U.S.I would be hard pressed to find any issues with Mar Grande - it couldâve been a bit cleaner and there was a patch of damaged plaster on the bedroom wall. On the latter, it is the Azores so living with dampness is normal.If we end up coming back to Sao Miguel, we would rent again.
The space worked perfectly for my husband and me; easy walk to the center of town, great view, easy parking. The building felt safe and secure, and the a/c was important, but a little hard to direct towards the bedroom. The man who checked us in was lovely, but the process would be a little smoother if you didnât have to meet with a person to get in, as we didnât have cell service, so we were unaware of changes to the plan and unable to contact him about our schedule, as well.
