I stayed here with my husband for just over a week and it was perfect. Like other reviewers posted, it's a nice quiet area and very close to the train station and beach. The apartment was just like the photos in the listing; everything was clean and well equipped. There's no microwave in the photos but there is one inside one of the cabinets above the fridge. Ty, Patricia and Monica, for welcoming us with a bottle of wine and keeping the kitchen stocked with coffee! That coffee saved my life every morning on this trip! There are small groceries and other restaurants nearby if you want to eat out within the area. I don't recommend the nearby restaraunt Ze Verunca....terrible Portuguese food! But the hosts will give you their recommendations. Patricia was always available to accommodate us if we needed anything, and was very kind enough to give us a ride up to Sintra. Overall, our stay was more than fantastic, we felt very much at home, and we highly highly recommend this apartment for couples or small families. We would definitely come back again!!
