The apartement of Álvaro is super nice, very clean, we felt at home! The check in/out and the communication was easy, cause he was around most of the time. You must know that there is no door to the bathroom - for us that was not a problem.
The surrounding, praia das maças, is great! The beach is just a few minutes away, as well as all other stuff you need. We loved that it was not too crowded here, compared to sintra or cascais. We definetly recommend Álvaro apartement and would love to come back!
