Great hub for exploring the area and further afield, Guincho, Sintra and Lisbon. The apartment is in a residential area which felt very friendly, car-park is literally below you out of the window but only busy during the school/church rush (its not not very big and very handy if you have a hire car!) You soon become accustomed to the church bells as they stop between 10pm and in the morning! A very cool skatepark is between the carpark and the sea and has a bar and shop. The view of the sea and sunrise, sunsets are amazing and the layout of the property was great for us to chill out with our young baby, we especially loved the way you could slide open the giant windows in the lounge area to let in the sea-breeze, all in all a very clean, spacious hub for our first family holiday, enjoy!
