Maria was absolutely lovely. When we arrived she had a bottle of wine for us and explained everything very well. The apartment was very clean and had the amenities we needed. The bathroom was very big and had a good shower. We thought the apartment looked better in the pictures than it did when we got there, and we were very disappointed with the pool. The pool was quite dirty and only got approx 1 hour sun a day, but this was probably because of the time of year we traveled. The apartment was located near some nice restaurants and a couple of bars but if you want to go to cascais it's approx 30mins walk.
