We loved the location with the views over the trees, the close proximity to the beach and surfing, and the 15-minute walk to the train was perfectly do-able. (If you cut up through the alley across from the churasscaria, turn left and then right, you can get there over the pedestrian bridge.) Great restaurants close by, too. Alex went above and beyond to make sure we were happy there. Highly recommend this apartment for digital nomads and those wanting to experience life in Carcavelos.
