We had a wonderful stay in Maria's fabulous apartment! It was spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and very comfortable (including the sofa bed). We had expected the sleeping area to be bright in the mornings and so we had come equipped with eye masks, but in fact, there are now very effective blackout blinds on the windows and so we didn't need them! There is also a swimming pool, but it was undergoing maintenance while we were there so we didn't get to try it.
One of the best things about the apartment is its incredible location- an easy 10 minute walk down to the beach and train station, a lovely seafront stroll into Cascais, but most of all, the neighbourhood itself (Monte Estoril) is just wonderful! Within a couple of minutes of the apartment, we found *amazing* restaurants (which were better and cheaper than those in Cascais), a great little supermarket to pick up breakfast and snacks, and lovely boutiques to browse in. It's a gorgeous, quiet, picturesque residential area that we just loved! We can't wait until our next trip! Thank you Maria for everything and we look forward to seeing you next time! :-)
