There are many things we liked about this apartment and few things we struggled with. We received a warm welcome from the host, had a flawless check-in with digital keypads and the apartment was clean. The view is amazing. Looking down on Ericeira and the ocean beyond is wonderful, especially at dusk. There are several comfortable spots inside the apartment and on the balcony to enjoy the view. The location is great and a short walk down the hill into town. The large grocery store right next door is very convenient and the municipal market is right down the hill as well. The less enjoyable points... This apartment is in an older building so you get many of the older building attributes such as: dampness permeates, loud plumbing, and an elevator without a safety door which is a little disconcerting. When we arrived the apartment felt damp including the beds and bedding. There are signs of dampness and some mold in spots in the apartment including the bathrooms and kitchen. We cleaned mold out of several spots including the washing machine dispenser cups. The apartment is decorated very tastefully and it is a comfortable place to be otherwise. While the kitchen is narrow, it was really enjoyable to be able to watch the sunset through the windows while cooking dinner.
