The apartment was as described in the pictures and listing- clean with a great view of the ocean from the large balcony. I'm sure it's even better during the warmer summer days. Joaquim was nice and punctual. It's a short drive to Sintra if you're interested in touring the castles and palaces and there are nearby markets and cafes. The shower leaked and left a large puddle after its first use. It was better managed for the following showers since we knew of the leak. Good wifi and lots of parking during the slow season. The kitchen is equipped to make an entire meal there if you desire. Overall, great stay.
