We stood in João's apartment beginning of September with our two teenagers. We did have a great time there and can fully recommend the apartment.
If you look for a spacy and stylish apartment - this is your choice.  It is like described and shown in the pictures. Two full sized bedrooms, two baths, very well equipped kitchen, dining room and living room. The big private terrace with table, coach and lounger is perfect. You will share the pool and garden with João and his family - what was no problem at all. The dog Mozart is very friendly and well-behaved.
João is a perfect host and realy cares about his guests. We have been welcomed with a basic equipped fridge for a perfect breakfast so no hurry to get to the near supermarket as fist action - thanks again. We also got delivered fresh bread every morning by João!
We found the location perfect for our needs as it is close to the beach (approx. 10 min by car) and near to Sintra and Lisboa.
So: five points from us.
