I DO NOT recommend this place to anyone. Unfortunatelly we had a very bad experience with this place and the host.
We rented the appartment with our 3 kids to stay for one week and after a long 6 hours drive we were quite happy to arrive and the kids could stretch their legs.
When we arrived we realised we were in some kind of ghetto part of Cascais. The first impression was not good!
Unfortunatelly no one was there to welcome us and do a check-in and that is where the problems started. Bit by bit we started finding things that were not OK.
The kitchen sink was full of dirty dishes, the fridge had open food, under the cuttlery drawer was a bowl full of cat food open, so that when you open the cuttlery drawer it stank. In the bathroom the toilet was not properly clean with dried urine stains, there were hairs in the bath and an ugly used soap bar and shampoo from the owner. In the balcony there were cigarrete buns left on the floor and railing (not even in an ashtray).
We rented the place for 5 people but there was only a small table for eating (apparently used as work desk) and not enough chairs in the appartment for the 5 of us.
The front door could not be locked, which is not OK specially in the area we were.
We decided to leave, as this place was clearly dirty and we did not feel safe with our kids there.
We contacted the owner and offered to pay the first night for the inconvenience and get the rest refundend. He appologised for the state of the place and said he would refund us everything. A couple of hours later, after we made other arrangements for the week he did a U-turn and said he's son was not there, and that he had sent his son to the appartment to check and that it was OK, so he would not refund as we agreed.
First of all, it is not OK to send someone into the appartment without us knowing, second of course we cleaned the things we found dirty, therefore they were not dirty anymore.
I was able to talk to the son of the owner that confirmed that the door could not be locked, but said it was quite OK that it was not possible, and that when you rent an Airbnb you are going into someone elses home so you don't expect to be properly cleaned. Well, i'm sorry but i do expect that it is cleaned.
So our problem when trying to get a refund was that we cleaned what was dirty and didn't take photos of what was dirty....
In the dispute we managed to get a refund for one night which is in all honesty a disgrace.
Overall veredict: this place is not worth the price charged, not even half of it. The owner does not have his listing under control, because clearly someone was at the place between he left everything cleaned (one week before we checked in) and our check in, and this listing is not safe and not ready to receive more than 2 people (unless the other want to sit on the floor).
Never again
