Stayed at Margarida's Studio 12 with my boyfriend last week and absolutely loved it.

Her daughter in law, Ana, greeted us and left us useful contact details & information if we needed anything...there was also some homemade honey & jam of Margarida's with some other essentials (bread, milk, juice, etc.) for our arrival which was a nice touch.

Apartment was very clean with fresh linen & towels; nice little balcony where we sat and ate our breakfast & dinner most days; the pool was great for cooling off in; and the whole condominium is very quiet and friendly (There are also fish, frogs and a terrapin in the garden ponds which is fun for families with kids!)

The locaction is great for exploring the coastline, we spent time in Lisbon, Sintra, Estoril and went to Cascais most evenings. The closest beach is a 10-15 minute walk; Cascais is a 35-40 minute walk; train station 10 minute walk; or there's a bus stop and taxi rank just 5 minutes away from the studio where there are also a couple of shops and bars.

I would definitely recommend staying here if you'd like to explore the Lisbon region in a more relaxed environment than in Lisbon City, and I would definitely stay again.

Thanks Margarida.
