This Airbnb stay is about as good as it gets. Pedro is endlessly helpful, offering rides to the grocery store, a pick-up at the train station, recommendations of local restaurants, directions to attractions...And he lives above the apartment, so he was readily available.
The apartment is very cozy, split level, with a multitude of artistic, creative touches. And it's filled with great amenities - from cooking to toiletries - for our 2 week stay, we even got two fluffy soft bathrobes. The main bedroom is two steps down and the second one is up a ladder (and the kitchen is a walk up as well.) Both ladders' steps are well lit up at night with glow -in-the-dark strips. The outdoor patio area is lovely and an asset I've only had in one other Airbnb. There are 3 dogs and 1 cat, who who will quickly get used to you, and have their own fenced off area.
We were able to walk to the old town, the Marina, Boca do Inferno (Hell Mouth - don't miss it) and furthest away, the train station (also a mall with movie theater and a large grocery store.) There were a few restaurants that were an easy 5 minute walk away, and a huge number of options in the old town. There's also a very large, sprawling park next to the marina, and several museums. Two train ride stops away from Estoril Casino, which has musical performances in the evening, and a great buffet. Thirty-five or forty minute train ride into Lisbon. Of course, there are many things to see and do in Lisbon, and we went in 3 times, but I actually preferred our days in Cascais.
