The apartment was beautiful and spacious, and exactly as described and pictured in the photos.
The location couldn't have been better. Less than a 10-minute walk to the beach and restaurants/shops. And two blocks in the other direction to the train and bus station. And a little mini-market right around the corner. Even though it was so central and close to everywhere I wanted to go, there was no noise at night and it was easy to sleep well.
Although it was tempting to spend all my time on the terrace, where there was lots of space for both lounging and eating. Outdoor space was a priority for me, and I loved the terrace.
Cassie met me at the door, and was super helpful and patient. She even followed up the next day with answers to a few questions, like where to find a good yoga class. And there's a good Cascais map and a comprehensive binder with info about how everything works in the apartment, and lots of restaurant and other recommendations.
A few more nuts and bolts: The intercom wasn't working while I was there, so beware of that if you're expecting visitors. The water pressure is excellent in the shower, and it was great to have a washing machine. No dryer, but my clothes dried within two hours on the terrace.
