Miguel was a great host: meeting us late in the evening of our arrival. He brought our large suitcases up the two flights of stairs and took time to explain everything. I had requested milk and a good hairdryer - both were there. He left a package of custard tarts which is a nice touch . When we had a difficulty in getting a taxi the following day, I texted Miguel and he had it sorted immediately. I think its location near to the main bus terminal is a big advantage as we took a bus to Sintra and to Lisbon - so easy. We absolutely loved Ericeria - the town centre is only 10/15 mins walk and has character.You must not miss the walk on the promenade down past the ship yard.
There are good stores nearly - and don't miss the little shopping centre nearby . Good eateries are plentiful and well priced. I would return another time. Thanks Miguel
