We have just spent a wonderful week in Maria's lovely apartment. It was spotlessly clean, bright and comfy and was close to beach and cafe's/restaurants. If like us you run/jog then once you have discovered the gorgeous route along the sea from Monte Estoril to the marina in Cascais you'll be totally spoiled! And the big shower which you can't see in the photo is great - double-sized and powerful. Great apartment and great location as you can easily hop on the train into Lisbon. The area is tree lined and quiet but with the essential shops you need for doing a bit of self-catering. The cafe just over the road is a must - great breakfasts and a divine selection of cakes.
