We stayed for 3 weeks and fell in love with Cascais. Pedro’s place was lovely, better than the photos, as others have mentioned, and in an excellent location. Only 5 mins was to the centre and roughly the same to a beautiful local park, which was a joy for our young daughters.
We cooked in a number of times and the kitchen worked very well for everything we could have wanted to cook. That being said, we could have eaten somewhere different for lunch and dinner every day if we wanted. Speaking of which, Pedro’s local recommendations were great. Hard to get a bad meal in Cascais it seems.
Coming from Ireland, with two young kids, we were a little concerned about the lack of air conditioning, but the apartment is lovely and airy, so this wasn’t an issue. Some of the appliances are getting a little old. Some parts of the apartment could do with a little updating, but this is a minor point, and the apartment is overall very comfortable and homely.
The balcony is perfect for 4 or 5 people, was a little too small for more (we had two additional guests the final week), and the views are beautiful.
Finally, Pedro was a very welcoming and easy going host, and I would gladly spend another three weeks in his place - trying to discover more of the wonderful town.
