Ricardo is a great host. The apartment had everything needed for my 2 months stay. He was quick with responses and gave a comprehensive info about surrounding shops, restaurants and places to visit. The apartment is in a very good location, just a couple of minutes’ walk to the train station and walking distance to the amazing Carcavelos beach. If you are from a northern country like me, then keep in mind that Portuguese houses overall are not that warm in the autumn and winter time, so take your woolen socks and warm clothes with you :)
