The location of the apartment is absolutely perfect and is within easy walking distance of most amenities in Ericeira. Overlooking the beach from the balcony, you can immerse yourself in the noise of the waves breaking and watch just how crazy dogs behave on the beach! You will need to bring groceries and household items with you but all the facilities are there as needed. Just be aware that if you have too many electrical items plugged in at any one time it is likely to trip the electrical supply. Easy to rectify so not a problem. Parking is close to the apartment and there is a wonderful bakery at the bottom of the street - out of the door and turn left. We had a great stay and loved the apartment and Ericeira.
