Our experience at Mars's apartment was outstanding. Mars is a great host, always responsive and supportive. Although not physically present, she was available at all times. Her apartment is a gem. Very well located in the center of Cascais within less than 5 minutes walk from the heart of the city, 10 minutes away from the beach and around the same time from the Metro Station. There are several local and excellent restaurants within less than 2 minutes walk from the house. The apartment and the common area are very nicely decorated with beautiful paintings...it's a beautiful place, full of history and arts... no need to bring your books along, there are many books and art magazines in the place. We were with two kids (2 and 6) and we didn't mind climbing the stairs to reach the second floor knowing that a beautiful view on the city is awaiting us. We had to be vigilant though with our little one given the internal stairs in the house. I can't recommend this place enough...simply, it is a place full of positive energy where one can start discovering the charm of Cascais. Thank you Mars for sharing your home with us!
