This is a gem of a place near Cascais. My family with three young girls booked this Airbnb and we did not know that Joao is not your typical host. Although he shares one room in the attic you barely see him or hear him. However, we enjoyed his big smile, welcoming and helping nature. He took care of us when our child needed medical attention. He helped us with our sightseeing and excursions. He even brought in cleaners mid-stay which I have never had as a Airbnb guest. For those who prefer a private stay with no one sharing the airbnb, I say take this opportunity as you will have the best of two world . I also recommended his outdoor activity . My family and I took his mountain climbing and we are not even climbers. It was a great experience.
