jose's apartment is very comfortable, well equipped has a big terrace and the host is more than perfect - kind, fast, accessible, and helpful, no matter what you need: a taxi, an intimate Portuguese restaurant with live fado, or a new fridge... the sandy beach is just a few minutes walk where you can sunbathe, bathe, eat, surf ... if you don't want to walk to the station, the bus stop is about two minutes from the house, and the train could get you to Lisbon’s old town with its monuments, museums, cozy streets, restaurants, and bars in forty minutes. the apartment is in a quiet and traffic-free cul-de-sac, nearby is a small store with the essentials, cafes, restaurants and a big supermarket located in the neighborhood. we stayed there with our two kids and had a wonderful time. for families, couples or friends - I can't recommend it highly enough.
