Communications prior arrival. Ricardo's messages was very clear, detailed and helpful.
Arrival. Ricardo's place is totally prepared to any kind of travelers : you get there - and you have exactly everything you need at your arrival ( even if the shops are closed already). You have all necessary at your disposal : welcome drink / wine, clean glasses, a lot of light, fast working internet, TV, coffee & tea, blankets, towels - just name it. He has it.
Bonus: you'll got even a 2 bikes - if you need it!
Apartment. My first impression was "I am somewhere in Scandinavia, in a new house". Very stylish, very bright, very big open space. Advice: read the book about Casino Estoril, where you may find a lot of hidden stories behind the city.
Outside the apartment. Very clean, very bright courtyard. I would say - not typical for Portugal, reminds a lot Scandinavian one. BBQ is ready for your dinner.
Internet. Need one of the best test at Speedtest? Ricardo will ensure the speed with the cable - and you will get fast & reliable internet for your work.
Interaction. Ricardo has been always ready to help ( WhatsApp, phone, text). Ask him about the surroundings and cafe - he will show you things you'll not find in any guides.

Oh yeah - and thank you for the fish! I mean dinner that Ricardo did last night.
Muito obrigado, Ricardo, Marta and mama! P.S. Hugs to Boris!
